"If the godly compromise with the wicked, it is like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring."
They say that the best way to cook a frog is to slowly raise the heat of the pot to boiling. If you were to place a frog into boiling water, it would jump out. However, if you placed the frog and slowly raised the temperature, the frog wouldn't know the difference. Unfortunately, compromises operate the same way. It slowly chips away at us that can lead us to major trouble. We will wake up one day and wonder how we got to where we are, and not realize the path we had taken in the past. It is uncommon (or almost impossible) for us to one day sin and fall away from God. We don't just simply find ourselves as a stranger to God. We had made small choices that slowly removed ourselves from the presence of God.
Our pastor reminded us one Sunday morning that we simply do not just stay still. We are either slowly building our faith and our walk with God, or we are slowly walking away from God. Every moment we are making these choices, and in time we will see the results. The challenge is whether we are working to build ourselves or allow our relationship with God falter. Take every moment to spend with God!
