What Path Are You Treading In Life? Are You Living For The Moment?

We have to know that we are not perfect.   We have to know that we may sometimes mess up in life.   We may sometimes do the wrong thing or say the wrong thing and we have to know that God is a loving and forgiving God.   But the question is, what do you do when you recognize the wrong you have done?   Do you stay there?   Do you wallow in your sin?   Do you continue to tread the path of unrighteousness or do you repent and turn back to the way that you know is right?

We all make mistakes but making a mistake is different than living a lifestyle of sin.    God is a just and forgiving God.   His love for us goes beyond anything we could ever imagine and all He wants from us is for us to love Him back.    He wants us to see Him clearly and to worship Him deeply.  

One of the biggest mistakes that people make in life is the fact that they live for the moment.   They live for momentary pleasure and not eternal gain.   We have to understand that the desires of the flesh are momentary.   They come and they go.   It's like pinching your skin.   The pain of a pinch comes and then it goes.   However, dependent on the intensity of the pinch, it can leave an unwanted mark or bruise.    We have to stop allowing things in our lives that eventually leave unwanted marks and bruises that testify against our walk for God.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Romans 8:13

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
