Walk in the Light or Live in Darkness

“The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.” (Proverbs 11:6)
Because we reap what we sow, we should not expect to reap righteousness, truth and godly blessings if we are sowing unrighteousness, dishonesty and perversion. The principle of sowing and reaping works the same way in both the natural and spiritual realm. Our every action has an equal and opposite reaction, including consequences for every decision we make. “He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” (Ecclesiastes 10:8) To put it simply, we must choose to either walk in the light or live in darkness. Whichever life we choose to lead and whatever kind of seed we decide to sow, will determine what kind of fruit we will reap at harvest time. The righteous can expect deliverance, while the wicked will be overtaken in their own naughtiness. “The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.” (Psalms 11:5-7) What road will we choose to travel, godly men? There is only one choice, if we desire to remain holy. We cannot be double agents with dual lives: there are none in God’s army. We can be sure that if we live a secret life, our sin will find us out. Commit yourself to walking godly today, and watch God bless you beyond your wildest imaginations.
