"If our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God." 1 John 3:21 NKJV
When you willfully do wrong, you experience anxiety, stress, and insecurity. "There is no peace,' says the Lord, 'for the wicked'" (Isa 48:22 NKJV). Whenever you choose a plan of action incompatible with what you believe to be right, you forfeit your peace of mind. For instance, a person may accept a job or duty that forces them to do something against their spiritual convictions, something that violates their conscience. Numerous people have faced the predicament of compromising their values so they can get a promotion or attain other advantages. To them at the time, it looked like their only option. "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but at the end thereof are the ways of death" (Pr 16;25). This is when a strong spiritual foundation is essential. It takes faith and bravery to let your convictions direct your behavior and your choices. The truth is that God is ultimately responsible for your advancement and promotion. His Word says, "Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another" (Ps 75:6-7). Don't think you can do right in your own power. Sometimes the temptation to manipulate or lie so that you can advance your career is just too much to withstand. That's when you need to draw on God's strength. David said, "The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Ps 27:1 NKJV). Prayer: "Father, please keep me from falling into temptation, and deliver me from the Evil One. Help me to do what's right."
