28 Blameless
Walking
Doing God's will should have
some pretty obvious advantages. This one
is one of the more obvious. Like most
proverbs this is not a guarantee that makes us
invincible but a general rule that we need not
fear harm when we're walking according to God's
ways.
Sin often brings about guilt
and fear. A very simple example is to
watch people as they pass a cop on the highway.
A thief lives with the fear of being caught.
Someone who is cheating on their spouse not only
lives with the fear of being caught but ends up
having suspicions of being cheated on
themselves.
Many people look at God as
some sort of cosmic killjoy but this couldn't be
further from the truth. God wants us to
live life to the fullest but He wants to protect
us from ourselves. A lot could be said
about the benefits of keeping sex within
marriage but one of the obvious ones is there is
no need to fear STD's or pregnancy when it is
kept to the marriage bed.
Those who are living outside
of the will of God don't know when disaster may
strike. God is not waiting for us to slip
up so that He may crush us and prove a point.
God takes no delight in punishing us. But
when we are doing wrong, we know that the rug
may be pulled out from under us at any time and
we will fall. God will be there waiting to
pick us up but it will still hurt when we hit
the ground. |
