Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment. Psalm 7:14 NIV
Why disillusionment? Because sin never delivers what it promises! Satan is very good at making us believe we’ll receive a benefit worth pursuing, but in the end, sin always leaves us worse off than before we entertained it. Don’t be disillusioned with sin. Instead, channel your energy into living a life of integrity.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts. My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.Psalm 7:8b-10 NIV
God is a shield, protecting those who pursue righteousness and integrity. He sees not just our actions but our thoughts and motivations. He probes our minds and hearts. What is He looking for?
For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9a NIV
God is looking for people whose hearts are fully committed to Him! Follow hard after God and you’ll never need to worry about being disillusioned, for God always delivers on His promises and always exceeds are expectations!
