The RIGHT Right

Proverbs 16:25 - There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

As teenagers (or when you were a teenager), we have a tendency to disregard what other, usually older, people tell us is the right way to do things. Most of us wanted to do things our own way. We may have even used the excuse, "What is right for you may be wrong for me."
When it comes to God and His instructions, there is no room for this kind of attitude. God lays down our "Rights" and "Wrongs" very clearly in His word. He doesn't leave room for discussion.
C.S. Lewis wrote in his book Mere Christianity: "Whenever you find a man who says he does not believe real Right or Wrong, you will find the same man going back on this a moment later. He may break his promise to you, but if you try breaking one to him he will be complaining 'It's not fair' before you can say Jack Robinson."
Paul also tells us that even those who have never heard of the Ten Commandments "demonstrate that God's law is written within them, for their own consciences accuse them or tell them they are doing what is right" (Romans 2:15).

The great thing is, we don't have to wonder about what is right or wrong in God's eyes. He tells us everything in His word. And if we ever need clarification or further explanations, He tells us to come to Him.
James 1:5 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all me liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Psalm 145:18-19 - The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

I think we could all benefit by being in His word and His way in an even bigger way than we are now. We need to remember to keep God in first place in our lives and to turn to Him when we have questions about what is right and what is wrong.

God Bless,
