What standard we use determines our attitude in life. If we use our own standards what we do will seem right in our own eyes. We will constantly justify our actions, and live according to what we perceive as right and wrong. It will be a roller coaster ride of a life; never knowing what true security feels like. If we use God’s standards, we will know the truth and it will set us free. We will never have to guess what is right or question if we did the right thing. And we won’t follow our feelings around wishing for stability. Gods standard in the rock on which we stand. When the storms of life come (and they will come), we will have solid footing to endure the storm and come out stronger spiritually because of it. And the best part is we will be closer to God because of it. And that my friend, is worth the journey through adversity. Don’t ever allow yourself to forget your Maker. If you do, your entire focus in life will be from a self-centered point of view. It will eventually lead you to seeing yourself as the one in control and your decision making will become flawed. It will take you down a road full of regret. Be honest. See yourself for who you truly are. Then and only then you’ll see your need of rescue and God will meet that need.
2 People may be right in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their heart.
