Getting What’s Due

Proverbs 11: ⁸ The righteous person is rescued from trouble,
    and it falls on the wicked instead.

============

“I found a checkbook” said a friend. “Let’s go buy some groceries!” He said. I thought this was a great idea since my bank account was more than nil. We bought all kinds of groceries and piled them in my junker of a car. On the way back to my apartment, my car broke down. I had to get a tow truck and the cost of repairs was exactly half the cost of the groceries.

• Sometimes my action causes trouble.
• Sometimes I am involved in evil plots.
• Sometimes my ways are not GOD’s ways.

It seemed like people could “get away” with stuff and I couldn’t. Every time I tried something evil, it seemed like I would get in trouble for it and they wouldn’t. Was I supposed to be learning something?

• GOD says to me “If you follow MY ways, I will guide you to the best path.”
• GOD says to me “Drop your wicked ways and follow ME.”
• GOD says to me “A little sin is like yeast, it rises up and ruins the entire batch of dough.”

I was on the wrong path, BUT GOD saw fit to intervene and put me back on HIS path. No get-rich-quick schemes or theft shall win the prize. Following GOD is the way to go. I was a teen at a crossroads and GOD said follow me or die. I chose GOD and HE has blessed me tremendously ever since!

• Are you dreaming up wicked ways?
• Do you have a scheme you are trying to secretly do?
• Do you understand that every wicked action from you will fall on you tenfold?
• Will you stop scheming and start following GOD?
