God never compels us
I was reading this and thought how amasing should share this with all of you-
Psalm 1 (The Message)
1How well God must like you— you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
2-3 Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on Scripture day and night. You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom.
4-5 You're not at all like the wicked, who are mere windblown dust— Without defense in court, unfit company for innocent people. 6 God charts the road you take. The road they take is Skid Row
God whom we follow does not compel us to do what he expects us to do but He gives freewill and choices that we can choose. We walk by the choices we make. Right choices build us and the wrong choices break us. We can either delight in the word of God, meditate on it and apply the same in our life (to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ) or follow the worldly ways - doing ungodly acts (as directed by sinful desires) ; passing /breaking the limit that God kept for us ; being scornful. If we make the right choice of listening and obeying Him, we will be able to live blessed, fruitful and perfect Christian life. We will prosper in whatever we do.
