SCRIPTURE:
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12)

This is a powerful proverb because it shows us that we are prone to think that our ways seem right but in reality they are wrong. In the end, they can lead to death whether it just be physical, spiritual or both.

Why can we be prone to think that way?

We live in a society where the Word of God is not given much credence but the self-gratifications of the flesh are emphasized. There are those that will tell you to go ahead and indulge in those desires. They will also tell you that you should not limit yourself or forbid yourself if your body or mind wants to do something. They will make you think what you are doing seems right but please don't take their word for it unless you have checked it with Scripture. The Scripture should be your litmus test for any actions you intend to take.

It is not about what you think is right that is important but what is right is important. Many people have innocently thought the wrong things but that has not excused them for their actions. Let us choose the path we need to take based on the principles of the Word of God. Let us be governed by the Word of God. It is through the Word that we are given direction. If we want to do something, it is so easy to rationalize that there is nothing wrong with what we are doing even if there is something wrong all along. Please do not forsake obedience to the Spirit of the living God.

Allow the Lord Jesus Christ to guide you and lead you as you rest in God's Holy Truth.

"Rest In God's Holy Truth! (R.I.G.H.T)"/"Why seek God's R.I.G.H.T over our right?"

Prayer:
Jesus, many times we are prone to do things the way we want them done. Please forgive us Lord for that. We are so sorry and ask you to help us overcome our desire to sin in certain areas of our lives. Without your help and intervention we will continue to do things our own way because to our minds they would seem right. We are sorry Lord. Help us to do what you want us to do with our life. Thank you so much Jesus. Show us your power Lord and thank you so much for the love you have lavished upon us. We can rest in your Holy Truth knowing that you will bring us through. Thank you Lord there are so many times you show us what we must do and when we do them we find blessings. We turn our lives to thee and to the usage of your plan. Whatever your will is in our lives, please give us the willingness and strength to bear it. Thank you so much Jesus! In Your Name We Pray Jesus! Amen!

May the Lord Jesus guide you in His love leading you! Amen!

No matter what you feel in your heart, know that Jesus has come in and resides with you when you give Him your heart! You are not alone! To make your walk strong with the Lord, spend time in prayer talking to Him as you would to a friend. You don’t need special words to talk to the Lord. Spend time in His Word reading Psalms and turning them into prayer. Next allow God to heal you and speak to you through the Gospel of John or Gospel of Mark before moving on to other Books of the Bible! Slowly, let the Lord show you to which Scriptures He wants you to go to next. It is also important to be part of a body of believers to help you grow in the faith. Find a Bible believing church that preaches the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation proclaiming Jesus Christ our crucified and risen Lord who brings us hope, healing, and help by His grace alone!
