If God asks you to do something, do you obey right away or do you think it through first? Many people rationalize and justify their decisions when it means not listening or obeying God. If you are living with someone other than your spouse, you are living in sin. There is no rationalizing about it. There are no justifications that God will say to you, "in your case, I understand and it is okay." NO!! God hates when we justify our sin. Our sin separates us from God. Many people justify living together with their boyfriend/girlfriend and will come up with all kinds of reasons...kids, money, lifestyle, affordability, etc....but if God asked you to walk out and move out on your own, would you do it? Would you trust God enough to know He would provide whatever it is you would need in order to live on your own? What excuse are you using today for not listening to God? Has God asked you to do something that you haven't done? Forgive someone, leave your high paying job for a lesser prestigious one, go into the ministry, join a missions group, give away your possessions, tithe double, invite your neighbor to church, witness to a stranger? I encourage you to listen to the Lord today, and obey. For it may change the course of your life forever.
Jeremiah 7:23
