Proverbs 16:25 (NKJV) 25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
In the old testament we read that man did what was right in his own eyes, so God's judgment came on all men. What a sad testimony to the moral value in the heart of people. To rely on what I believe is right, rather than abiding by what I know is right is rebellion. Gods word says, "There is a way" what way is that? It is the way that keeps man from experiencing the amazing liberty of coming under the authority of Gods word, hindered from knowing the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
Note, it seems right, we embrace the thought has truth without checking its source, willingly follow without checking the facts. Second, there is the appearance of right, but the comfort of being and living right with God is lost to feelings of self satisfaction. Serving self, is serving another god and the violating any one of the commands of God is sure to bring judgment, For God says He is Holy, and He calls for us to be Holy as well. Trust Christ today to guide your life and He will make you Holy!
Father help us to see You clearly from the word of Life, Jesus. Touch our lives with the power of the Gospel of Christ, let us hear the call to come close and abide in You. Amen
