Choose God's Standards, Not the World's
Living above society's moral decline involves the choices we make
regarding our conversations, the way we dress, what we read, and the TV
shows and movies we watch. It also has to do with the level of integrity
with which we live our personal lives, interact with other people and
conduct ourselves in our businesses or professions.
As Christians, we need to encourage one another to live by godly
standards and resist the pull of the world. A well-known quote offers
some good advice: 'Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch
your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become
habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your
character, for it becomes your destiny.'
One of God's great gifts to mankind is the power of choice. If we want
to enjoy the blessings He has for us, we need to make lifestyle choices
that align with His Word and are consistent with the values of His Word,
not choices reflecting the constantly eroding values of the world.
I urge you to make a decision to serve God wholly, putting Him first in everything you do.
Prayer Starter: God, I don't want to live by the world's standards. I
put You first in my life, because I know that Your ways are the best.
