Proverbs 14:14 (NKJV) 14 The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above.
Oh boy, this scripture nails it.
When we want to do our own thing vs. what God wants us to do, it can be a real fight.
We think what we want to do is the answer for us, but, most times our own ways are wrong and harmful to us.
Doing things the way the world does them is usually what causes us to backslide.
Why? Because the world is usually trying to satisfy and please the flesh and its desires.
But God’s word tells us to crucify the flesh, not please it.
Galatians 5:24 (NKJV) 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we follow His direction, we will be satisfied!
If we choose to follow God, He will provide the way.
He has the right path for us, and He doesn’t mind sharing the insight if we are serious in wanting to know.
Do we want to be satisfied?
Then we need to turn from our sin, be remorseful. Be disciplined, and focus on doing what is right in the eyes of God.
Ezekiel 18:21 (NKJV) 21 “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
A good man will be satisfied from above. God is faithful!
