Psalm 106:35 But they mingled with the Gentiles and learned their works;
One of the worst things we can do to ourselves is to give in to the ways of people around us and just go and do what they do even when we know it is wrong!
If we have learned something is wrong then we should be standing up for what is right! Giving in to what is wrong is just foolish!
And yet so many of us continue to do it without thinking – be it giving in to ways, language, behaviour, or whatever else goes on around us, we are not helping ourselves.
God wants us to be strengthened through standing up for righteousness and not giving in to evil. Do the exercise and grow in strength!
