Walking in the Wisdom of God, Part 1

Sin beckons as we navigate life’s journey, and calls us to satisfy fleshly cravings. It may be fulfilling at the first, but the pleasure sin brings is short-lived. While the flesh cries out for more, the heart is weighed down with grief, the soul discouraged, and the conscience pierced by guilt as we experience the pain of broken fellowship with God. This is the dangerous world in which we walk. Given the prevalence of sin and the deceitfulness of our own hearts, how can we walk wisely in this world? Be careful how you spend your days. When we waste time, we lose opportunities to strengthen ourselves for godliness. Remember that whatever time you invest in God’s service on earth, you will gain back immeasurably in eternity! Do you want spiritual strength and victory over sin? Schedule your time. Plan your hours. Most importantly, yield to the Holy Spirit so that you may put to death the deeds of the flesh and live.
