23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Give careful thought to the[c] paths for your feet
and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:23-27
The world is full of corrupt people. Even thousands of years ago, before Christ came to the earth, there were corrupt people. Many times, people blame each other for being corrupt, or circumstances they are placed in, put them in the position of being corrupt. I think we all know that there is a deeper reason for the corruption in our society and that is the enemy. The enemy thrives off our weaknesses, and he puts the idea in our head that being just a little bit corrupt is not a big deal. The problem with that philosophy is that a little bit leads to a little bit more and a little bit more until the entire person becomes corrupt. It is good that God has given direction for more than a few millennia on how we can avoid falling into the trap of being corrupt. Keeping our mouth away from perverse talk and looking straight ahead are the easiest ways that we can stay away from living a life that is corrupt and focusing on this life that God wants for us. Be steadfast.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
