"Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the Word planted in you, which can save you." -James 1:21 (NIV)
There are many things in life that we may consider "guilty pleasures." While some things may seem like fun or inconsequential, we need to consider the extent to which these things invade our lives. We don't want to allow seemingly small things build into evil that overtakes our lives!
When we look at the world, we may see deterioration of morality and we may see signs of evil. We need to rid ourselves of evil. We need to brace against the loss of morals. To be strong, we need to be sure we are in God's Word. Through God's Word, we can learn from His promises and examples of those that have come before us. We can learn God's law and be strengthened to stand in it. We can know His love and forgiveness. We can be redeemed and move beyond guilty pleasures and into His glory!
Don't allow guilty pleasures to erode your morals. Turn to God and enter into His glory!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the forgiveness and redemption that You provide for me. Help me to avoid moral filth and evil and to live in Your glory. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
