90 Days of Wisdom: Day 89

"This is the way of an adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, 'I've done nothing wrong.' (Proverbs 30:20)

We have a tendency to rationalize our sin. Whether it is adultery, as pointed out in the above verse, or some other form of detrimental behavior; we play with it in our minds until we feel justified in what we are doing.

The problem is, this kind of behavior negates God's blessings upon our lives. Also, in the long run life will force us to the conclusion that we have cheated ourselves out of the best He had in store.

Let's not fall victim to our own devices. Instead of rationalizing, heed the Holy Spirit's conviction and confess your transgressions. You'll find yourself forgiven and free... and not having to make excuses for your life.
