Daily Word
Proverbs 4:10 (New Living Translation) [A thought for thought translation]

Pastor’s Thoughts
Most people would love to live a long life. I know that I do. I’m betting that you do as well.
A small sin that is not repented of never stays alone. It always invites a bigger sin to join in. And then that sin invites an even bigger one to join in. It’s a vicious cycle. A lifestyle of sin often leads to a life that is shortened.
For each Godly habit that you create in your life the less you will sin and the more you will desire to bring even more Godly habits in. A lifestyle of Godly choices often leads to a prolonged life of joy in the Lord.
Which would you prefer?
Have a blessed Thursday everyone. Evaluate what sins you have allowed in your life and begin replacing them with wise Godly decisions.
