PROVERBS 25:26
"If the Godly give in to the wicked, it is like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring."
Would you like to get your drinking water from a muddy spring? Would you like a fountain in your yard that was mucked up and dirty? Most of us want clear, pure, healthy waters for our use. The truth for today is meant to paint us a picture of what happens when the Godly give in to the wicked and what happens to purity! It is clear that in order to keep your water source pure and clean you can not allow contamination to enter. That contamination comes from the wicked and ungodly and destroys beauty and purity.
We must avoid compromising our integrity before the wicked. We have to be strong and resolute when it comes to their attempts to muddy our fountains or pollute our sources of water. We can never yield to this contamination or we pollute ourselves. What are some examples that bring this point home. We can not allow our children to be contaminated with improper language on television or in our environments. The wicked want to introduce one swear word after another. We must not allow pornographic pictures to be seen by anyone Godly. They will contaminate just as mud does to water. We must not allow homosexual conduct to be seen as an alternative life style that is acceptable to believer's. God calls it an abomination in His sight!
If you allow a camel to stick his nose in the tent, the head will follow and soon they will be sleeping with you. If you take a little contamination and add it to a little more contamination, soon you will be living in a mud bath. If you give in to sin and immorality and believe it will not have an affect on you or you lives, you are being blinded to the truth. It is too late to change things after the motto is anything goes. We as Godly people have a responsibility to keep the faith and truth and be the salt of the earth. We are to keep contamination and rotting under control. Are you doing your part. What do you watch on TV or movies. What do you allow or accept that is contrary to God's word. DON'T GIVE IN!
