Remember the younger, wilder you? Hanging out at the clubs, house parties, joyriding, drinking and the sorts, with one thing in mind, having fun and hanging out with the gang. The sensible side of you saw the dangers
ahead, yet, you leaned towards your naughty side. That side that felt good. And, because it felt good and right, many
suffered from curable diseases while others attended to a lifetime of child
rearing. Doing what felt good was far
more fun than doing what was right. You’ve
been in a battle between good and evil for a long time, you just didn’t know
you were in a battle. The battle is
real! When you yell at others on the
road, it’s a battle not to do it when the other person deserves it. However, an error of caution could save you an
eternity of pain. How you treat others and how you live your life will revisit you in eternity. "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, reveling and such like of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such thing shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (Galatian 5;19-21). Keep that in mind. The battle continues. As
matter of fact, life is a constant battle. You try to do your best, and mind
your own business; however, Satan is watching though his binoculars, waiting
for his opportunity to trip you up. He
is looking for an opening to crush you through all those things named in Galatians 5:19-21. No matter his many tries,
God provides a way of escape for you (1 Corinthians 10:13). Look for the
opening He’s gives you and get out of there! You’re older and wiser than the younger version of
yourself. You know how to avoid the battle, right? You may hit a bump in the road; nevertheless,
continue to press the gas of life and drive right over it. Keep praying and
doing what’s right. When you fall, repent and get up. Know that all things work together for the good of them that
love the Lord (Romans 8:28) Do you believe that?
