Direct my footsteps according to your word;A young wife and mother recently announced she was leaving her home and moving in with another man. There, she says, she can live like she wants, enjoy marijuana and "edibles" with him, and finally focus on what makes her happy.
let no sin rule over me.
Psalm 119:133
As of this point, she hasn't yet said whether continuing to be a mother to her children is part of what makes her happy.
There are many people like her. For that matter, there are many who call themselves Christians who are like her - they just haven't reached the same point yet in their chasing after personal happiness. They walk a dangerous path, direct heir footsteps in the direction that feels good to them, rather than according to God's word. Continuing down that road is a sure way to letting sin rule over every decision.
" If you dwell on your own feelings about things rather than dwelling on the faithfulness, the love, and the mercy of God, then you're likely to have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Our feelings are very fleeting and ephemeral, aren't they? We can't depend on them for five minutes at a time. But dwelling on the love, faithfulness, and mercy of God is always safe." ~ Elisabeth Elliot
