Shirt on Backwards

The other day, I go to put a shirt on and it wasn't until I looked in the mirror that I noticed it was on backwards. Haha! Oh the truthfulness of a mirror. It's weird how right it felt, but oh so wrong it was.

Likewise, when you trust your own heart rather than looking to God's law/word as the authority, you have a warped view of reality. Things that the Bible declares bad, you will call good. And the good things God says, you will despise (Isaiah 5:20). God's law is the standard; not your heart, not your feelings, nor your emotions.

Take this as another reminder of which you will be held accountable for on judgment day. Myself included.

Here's a question for you. Why are you prone to follow your own heart? Why, after knowing the truth and having received the Spirit of God, do you (if you are a Christian) still experience the pull of sin? What is the remedy in fighting and resisting that pull?
