It reminds me: one act of carnality is a poor exchange for a lifetime of lost legacy .
You don’t fix a struggling marriage with an affair or a drug problem with more drugs. You don’t fix stupid with stupid. Do what pleases God.
Turbulent times will tempt you to forget Him. Shortcuts will lure you. Don’t be foolish and don’t be naïve. Do what pleases God. Nothing more, nothing less! When it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it! When you know it’s not right, don’t do it! If others are warning you not to do it, don’t do it! When in doubt, don’t do it!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
Be not wise in your own eyes;
It will be healing to your flesh
