It is true that our morality is not a matter of chance.
It is a matter of choice.
We choose whether we will live the godly lifestyle or not.
Ignorance is never an excuse because the Holy Spirit speaks to our consciences, acquainting us with what pleases God and what doesn’t.
Some might say, “But I didn’t know that doing ________ was sinful.”
That excuse might fly if there were no mention of ________ in the Bible and of how doing such fell short of God’s expectations for believer behavior.
Listen, nobody likes feeling ashamed.
Nobody likes feeling convicted by the Holy Spirit because of offenses against God’s Word and God’s will.
I certainly don’t.
That’s why it is SO much better to learn the Word and rehearse the Word so that we don’t violate the Word.
For when we can put our heads on the pillow at night without regret for having disobeyed God by doing ________ or some other sin, sleep is so much more peaceful.
In our hearts, we can confess to God the words below that will make Him pleased and ourselves content.
“I will not be ashamed when I compare my life with your commands.” (Psalm 119:6)
Do right.
Sleep tight.
It’s a great combo.
As always, I love you
Martin
