Compromise! There is an old saying, “Everybody has a price.” We look around, and see the crime, corrupt politics, and people who seem to have utter disregard for other people’s property, livelihood, or life. As time draws on more and more people seem to care only for themselves. Many don’t care how they inconvenience you or what you do for them, as long as they get what they want.
Right is right and wrong is wrong and circumstances should not change that. Most of the problems we encounter in everyday life are due to our compromising on some issue. Guilt results as a compromise to SIN. Poverty results as a compromise to not wanting to do better badly enough to make it happen. Being constantly broke and in financial disaster is mostly the result of compromising to over indulgence.
There is a scientific fact that “every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” Jet propulsion is based on this fact.
The same is true in the spiritual sense. Our situations are results of our actions. We would all have to spend less time imploring God to help us, and more time in asking Him to lead us, if we compromised our situations less.
Pray that God will show you where you compromise.
