"For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. "
How miserable is the Christian, who knowing God's goodness, deliberately continues in wickedness. I know, I have been there and I am sure there are many who have had a sojourn in this 'wilderness'. Sometimes we make bad choices, refusing to listen to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit. We may have rebelled because of our circumstances, due to the fact that we have not seen a speedy answer to our prayers. Our pride will not let us acknowledge our wrong doing, but we are extremely uncomfortable in our wilderness of sin. We lose our joy, our peace and our communication with the Lord and we are extremely miserable. Our emptiness is even greater than before we were born again.
Can anyone relate? Do not turn away from the holy commandment and if you have, acknowledge quickly and return to our loving Father. Please don't choose the wilderness of sin and misery for you will find yourself worse off than before you were born again. I know, I have been there.
"Holy Father, I love you. Teach us your ways, even through ALL our circumstances. Make us pliable and teachable and ready to acknowledge our errors. Sharpen our attention to the voice of the Holy Spirit, that our actions, our words and our thoughts may wholly be like you. Lord, I command a special blessing on all who share in this prayer. In Jesus precious name, I pray. Amen"
