Psalm 85:8: I will listen to what the Lord God will say, for he shall speak peace to his people and to the faithful, that they turn not again to folly.
Can you think back to the time when being a Christian started to make sense, or when you chose to become a Christian?
How many times have you turned away from your Christian ways in one way or another since then? I don't think I can count that high!
God waits paitiently for us to come back to him and to turn back to doing things the way he would like us to - after all he does know what is best for us, but still gives us free will!
The more we get used to doing things as God guides us, the more we will avoid the pitfall of the ways we used to live!
