“SEEMS RIGHT!”

Proverbs 14:12                           (ESV)

“THERE IS A WAY THAT “SEEMS RIGHT” TO A MAN, but its end is THE WAY TO DEATH.”

It seems nearly everyone has a gripe!  Something didn’t go the way they expected and they are upset that people won’t act like they want them to.   We are ALL imperfect, we are ALL sinners.  What do you expect from depraved people?  There has to be a way to avoid such discontent and turmoil???

Then there are some who publicize things that humans that are famous in “this world” because their opinion means so much that THEY THINK the entire world needs to hear it?  But how often do you hear Scriptures being broadcast, unless it is on Sunday Morning when a few of us are worshiping the LORD?  The ONE WHO spoke these world’s into existence gave us an instruction manual (HOLY BIBLE) and we don’t take the time to become familiar enough with it to avoid many of the problems we face today!  

We can do what “SEEMS RIGHT” in our lives and completely miss GOD’s direction for for our lives.  Isaiah 55:8-9 says that GOD’s ways are higher than our ways, and HIS thoughts are higher than our thoughts, so why do we do what “SEEMS RIGHT”???  Why not defer to GOD’s WORD for guidance and direction and TRUST HIM with the results?  Do we think we know better than HE?  Or do we simply not TRUST HIM to guide us?

The “if it feels good, do it” mentality has devolved our society into one with no boundaries on the unholy acts that defile what GOD intended for us to be.   Things were so bad 40 years ago that a preacher said “If GOD doesn’t judge America for it’s sinful behavior, HE will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah for judging them so harshly”!!  Doing what “SEEMS RIGHT” doesn’t mean it IS RIGHT!   We must REPENT!!!
