We are not perfect, we all make mistakes. That is why we are so blessed to have a God who will correct us, lead us, guide us, and forgive us. When we mess up He doesn't throw us out or give up on us. He corrects us and helps us to do better. If we don't follow the Lord's instruction and allow Him to correct us we won't be following his path for our life. If we are not on his path, every other path leads to death. There is only one path to get to eternal life in heaven and we can only get there by following the Lord. We need to allow God to come into our heart and life and prune off the things that are not of Him so we can flourish on His path. Every time we chose to disobey the Lord we are setting ourselves up for failure and can even negatively influence the people around us. God is all knowing and all powerful, when he speaks we need to listen.
Pray:
God we lay our lives in your hands. We ask that you would come into our heart and stir it up Lord. Have your way in our life Lord. Teach us your ways and help us to lay down our own ways for yours. Help us to be sensitive to your voice, so that we can be aware of what you are telling us. We ask that you take control and lead us on your path, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Verse:
Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray. Proverbs 10:17 ESV
