It's crucial to your family's welfare that you make the decision to stop sin from taking up residence in your home. If you don't, spiritual laws can be set in motion that will result in heartache and trouble for your entire household.

Those spiritual laws also create a great contrast between the lives of the righteous who choose to forsake sin and the wicked who embrace it:
In the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is great [priceless] treasure, but with the income of the wicked is trouble and vexation.
(Prov. 15:6 AMP)
Now, it's important to understand that it isn't God who punishes the sinner. He isn't the one causing this great disparity between the turmoil, vexation and fruitless end of the wicked and the many blessings enjoyed by the righteous.

God isn't watching people so that as soon as they do something wrong, He can punish them with some hurtful consequence. God doesn't do that. People set spiritual principles and laws into motion themselves by their own actions and choices (Prov. 1:31).

The same principle holds true for the upright who obey God's Word. These people set spiritual laws into motion that cause good and blessing to come into their lives. They reap abundant life: "The path of the wise leads upward to life, that he may avoid [the gloom] in the depths of Sheol (Hades)" (Prov. 15:24 AMP).

You see, when you walk in wisdom, you are the one who makes your way prosperous. You set into motion the spiritual laws that determine your favorable outcome.

Isn't it a blessing to know that? Most people don't know the Word of God. Most aren't aware of God's spiritual laws that produce either blessing or cursing in their lives.

You Can Overcome
But you are aware. You can make the right choice. You can walk in God's wisdom and avoid problems and trials.

Now, that doesn't mean you won't ever have any problems. But when you walk with God, problems won't have you. When problems come against you, you'll walk through them. You'll overcome them.

You have God's promise that the righteous will flourish and be blessed. He promises that the just shall come out of every trouble (Ps. 34:19).

Yes, we still go through some pressures and problems in this life. But we can know that as we walk with God, we will overcome, and our end will be victory! We have set into motion the right spiritual laws!

These are just a few of the many instructions in wisdom found in Proverbs 15. We receive those divine instructions by humility and the reverential fear of the Lord:
The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord brings instruction in Wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
(Prov. 15:33 AMP)
When a person walks in his own conceit, he thinks he knows it all. That prideful attitude shuts him off from receiving God's wisdom.

On the other hand, when you walk in humility, your entire attitude is open to the Lord. You want Him to give you wisdom and correction.

So open your heart and humbly take instruction from the One Who is made unto you wisdom (1 Cor. 1:24,30).

Resist anger and every other sin of the flesh that would try to hold you in bondage. Walk in the fear of the Lord, and set into motion the spiritual laws that cause priceless blessings of God to pour into your life!

Wisdom for Today
Stop and think about what you're going to say
to someone before you say it.
Are you about to "utter knowledge rightly"
or "pour out folly"?
Take authority over any evil spirits that have
followed your family for generations.
Be especially watchful for any temptation
in areas of past weakness.
When one shows up, resist it, in Jesus' Name!
