How can you know what is right? Surely born into our conscience resides a meter of right and wrong. We understand stealing to be unfair and murder unjust. We think according to a good and perfect standard. This truth exists as irrefutable, undeniable. Yet we continue in our offenses, acting according to the feeling that suits us best. Although we began with a standard, compromised it becomes whit the continual practice of harlotry. Your mind, confused, believes sin no longer stains and your actions have not defiled God’s standard. You believe your sin is right.
But if confusion enters as wrong actions become habit, where are we to turn? Does God roll us over to our evil desires for us to fall on our faces in sinful perplexity? Are we strapped and stranded after sitting down in the seat of unrighteousness, riding farther from all present understanding?
Hope proves reasonable. The straps of confusion weaken under Gods unbuckling strength. He can wipe the foggy haze that glazes your discretion, replacing your desires with His. As your vulnerability emerges under His influence, right becomes the person you once knew. You meet again with the standard that you’ve repressed for so long, and sweet is the fellowship of old friends.
