Yesterday, I wrote about distraction, and I just wanted to elaborate on that today. God has been using seemingly innocent things in my life to distract me from His purpose, and last night I just felt called to recommit to going ahead and serving Him without those distractions.
I think what was a real turning point yesterday, and for how my life has gone lately was an article in The Holland Sentinel yesterday about a teacher who was a pastor at a church, and with simply choosing to love His addiction more than he loved God, lost everything. He is going through a "storm" as the pastor in the article states.
I can't help but just feel deeply for the family that must be embarrassed, shaken, hurting at this moment. I would never wish that pain on anyone.
In my head, over and over, the words "your sins will find you out," keep running through my head.
How many things do we do in secret. How many impure thoughts do we have each day that we just brush off as innocent? How many times do we do something, and think that no one will ever know? This just reminds me of the diligence living a pure and holy life requires. Our actions originate in our thoughts. Our thoughts breed actions. And our actions breed consequences.
