Do Not Forsake the Law

Scripture Proverbs 28:4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, But such as keep the law contend with them.

Observation: To forsake the law is to sin and do what is against God’s commands, which makes us wicked. I hate being called wicked but by definition that is what I am when I go against God’s law and if I obey God’s commands then I can be a light to the wicked. It I so easy to justify our actions so we can continue to sin, but if it against God’s law it is just purely sin.

Application: I need to stop justifying my wrong actions and start obeying God. I’m called to be a child of God, a light in this wicked world and I can only do that if I’m right with the Lord. Stop and pray before I do anything and make sure it honors my Lord.

Prayer: Dear Lord I continue to stray off course and need your law to guide me. Fill me with the Holy Spirit and keep me on the path that you have chosen for me.
