2nd Peter 2:14-16: "They are addicted to adultery, with eyes that are insatiable, with sins that never end. They seduce the vulnerable and are experts in their greed--they are but children of a curse! They have wandered off the main road and have gone astray, because they are prophets who love profit--the wages they earn by wrongdoing. They are following the example of Balaam, son of Beor, who was rebuked for evil by a donkey incapable of speech yet that spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet's madness."
Astray
Too often we all wander off His main road and sometimes we don't even recognize how far we can slip. Until the world's definition of craving things turn into consequences.
Addictions we may not even recognize as danger. And personal greed's we consider acceptable.
And when we do recognize our dangers and failures we feel we can never escape the evil or be restored.
Yet that is another lie too--maybe one of the deepest--to not believe the impossible.
Yet there is nothing impossible in His hands. Whether we are seen as useless or useful, damaged or broken,He promises healing.
Lord, please teach us how to stay on Your main road and how to recognize the sins that pull us away. May our hearts grow only into Your choices and actions.
May we walk with You each day in trust. In faith. In restoration.
