GO GOD’S WAY! – Nehemiah 1:7 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GO GOD’S WAY​​​​!

Nehemiah 1:7 – Devotional

Nehemiah 1:7

“We have acted very corruptly against You, Lord, and have not kept Your precious commands and ordinances which You gave for our good.”

Not all rules or laws are of the life-saving variety, but rather are intended to keep us from needless pain. We may not recall actually being warned to never place a wet tongue against a frozen metal flagpole, but we should realize the consequences of our actions produce pain and tears!

There are painful situations in or life that would be well for us to avoid. In my mind I like to choose God’s way of thinking and His rules for my life, rather than the way of the majority.

I was never really accepted by the “in crowd” when I was a boy. I spent a lot of time alone and often felt rejected. It was when the “in crowd” ran into trouble and faced serious consequences that I knew God’s way is always the best way!

In a world that is increasingly opposed to anything holy or righteous, yet accepting of every kind of sin and depravity, we need to always choose to GO GOD’S WAY!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
