When Your Mind Says Yes And The Bible Says No 2/16/2024

 Good Morning,

I just poured a very hot cup of Door County Jamaican Me Crazy Coffee and it is time for me to wake up and drink it. Here's to waking up!!

John 3:20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed, 21. But whoever lives by the truth, comes into the light, so that it might be seen plainly, that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. 

I believe that there isn't a man or woman who does not have to endure temptations from time to time. I would be a liar for sure if I said I didn't.

Now and then an idea or thought will come out of nowhere and lodge in our brain. Our pea sized brain starts to process the idea. The battle begins in our minds as to what is right or wrong. Then when we are even convinced that the idea is 70 kinds of wrong, we start to justify in our hearts and minds why we need to pursue the thought and how even though it is wrong, we can accomplish good with the idea. 

We stand our ground and we argue with God Almighty. We don't always say it aloud, but we defy what we know is right and pursue wrong. Without saying a word we actively defy God. Then when we are confronted by our actions, people will lie their way out of it. So as to not be confronted righteously, they withdraw, and get a case of nasty attitude because of fear.

You ask what that fear would be? The fear of having their wrongs pointed out and their story be found out to be a lie is the answer.

If it's wrong in the Bible, drop the idea like a red hot coal in a cheap cotton glove. Live a life worthy of being heard and seen. 

Happy Friday

Marty
