12 You will be kept from the sinful man, and from the man who causes much trouble by what he says. 13 You will be kept from the man who leaves the right way to walk in the ways of darkness, 14 from the one who is happy doing wrong, and who finds joy in the way of sin. 15 His ways are not straight and are not good.
I have someone in my own life that is constantly stirring up strife.. wanting people to question how someone lives.. wanting people to allow her to destroy someone's reputation... the scripture is saying that we will be protected from this type of person.. yet clearly that is not ALWAYS the case... I do believe that God's justice will prevail.. I believe this person will be struck down by God in some form.. when He gets ready...
worse yet.. I could have been considered this type of person to some degree in my past.. I was a drama queen.. always stirring up dissention... usually mine were truths though.. I didn't take a piece of a small truth and run with it... I took a whole truth and told everyone... either way... I surely paid the price for my wrong.. and I know that others will too...
sometimes we wonder why we have so many haters... as I did in the past... this was surely part of the problem... don't get me wrong.. I still have haters.. just not as many and now they pretend they don't hate me.. LOL.. I'm not sure which is worse...
16 You will be saved from the strange woman, from the sinful woman with her smooth words. 17 She leaves the husband she had when she was young, and forgets the agreement with her God. 18 For her house goes down to death, and her steps lead to the dead. 19 None who go to her return again, and they do not find the paths of life.
apparently.. this is the day to put me on blast... I was this woman too... of course not the forgets the husband part.. as the man I chose was a whole other evil... yet if I look at the 'relationships' (term used loosely) I was in... I was death... I acted godly one minute and a fallen woman the next... I thank God for revelation and change in my own life...
20 So may you walk in the way of good men, and keep to the paths of those who are right and good. 21 For those who are right with God will live in the land. The men without blame will stay in it, 22 but the sinful will be destroyed from the land, and those who are not faithful will be taken away from it.
I try to walk in the way of good men and women.. I strive to be all God calls me to be... the spiritual battle some days is more than I can overcome it feels.. .yet I struggle forward... I desire God above all things.. that is the truth... He gives me a peace and a stability that I never had before... man cannot give you this.. the world cannot give you this... only God... I would not trade it for the world...
