Recognize what's at stake

S - Scripture

Proverbs 1 v. 10  My son, if sinners entice you do not consent. 

O - Observation 

Duuuhhhh!!!! This is such an obvious statement for our walk with Christ. Easy to say, hard to do. 1 Corinthians 15 v. 33; "Do not be deceived; Bad company ruins good morals." This is the first and key step in Not Consenting. Don't put yourself in compromising situations. Who's your company? Recognize what's at stake. Ephesians 5 v. 5; "Be sure of this, that no fornicator, or impure man, or one who is covetous, has ANY inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God."  So recognizing what's at stake will help us to make wise choices. Ephesians 5 v. 15; "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil."

 

A - Application  

Who's my company? Do I fully realize what's at stake? Am I consenting?

 

P - Prayer      

Jesus, Help me to keep the eye on the prize when enticed.  Love Will.
