How God's People Can Ruin a Good Thing

The purpose of this 10-day devotional is to shine a light on followers of God who made a few wrong turns and ruined a good thing. We are all one choice away from stepping off of God's path. The characters discussed in this devotional faced a fork-in-the-road. They struggled with pride, greed, revenge, and fear, to name a few. These struggles ultimately led to their demise because they chose to follow their own instincts and worldly desires rather than to run from sin and push past temptation.

Thankfully we serve a gracious and merciful God. He knows our hearts and measures the spirit of genuine repentance. God not only provides a way to avoid pitfalls, but if we happen to stumble, the consequences are not forever. God will always love us and welcome us back into His arms. However, not everyone turns from their sin. I hope at the end of our study together you recognize your inevitable shortcomings, and you choose to do what you know is right every time.
