What do we partake in, in this life that is not wholesome and good? What things do we allow into our hearts, homes, and lives that is impure?
It’s so easy to make concessions in life. We rationalize everything.We are letting our guard down and start to desensitize ourselves to right and wrong.
“I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.”
Psalm 101:3
If God does not or cannot approve anything that is vile and He will have no part in it – what does that mean for us if we choose to let it into our lives? We are supposed to stand out from the rest of the world. Be different. Set apart. How are we setting boundaries for our lives that God would want for us? How we will set standard based on His word?
I know it’s hard. I have to reevaluate where I stand…often. I’ve felt uneasy about certain decisions and then had to go back and tell my Kids and friends that we were making a change and that I was doing it based on my morals and values. It’s so easy to go off the path that God has in mind for us.
I want God to look on me with approval. I want Him to take part in all that I do in my life. In order for that to happen, I have to let my faith not just take up a section in my heart, but invade it and flow out to every area of my life. It has to be the scope of which I filter everything that I take in.
We can rationalize and give in all we want to the things of this world. But God has clearly set the standard for our lives. It’s time to start regaining the territory we’ve allowed to be lost and realize that we are better off without those things.It’s time we start feeling better about who we are as people; knowing that we are regaining a purity that has been so easily given away.
Let's allow God to take part in every decision of our lives, in our home, in our hearts, in our whole being..Be His partner..
