Bible Question: What does "stand in the path of sinners" mean? |
Bible Answer: "stand in the path of sinners" means starting to get impressed and tempted to walk inviting expedient sinful shortcut unspiritual routes to get usually fast and easy answers to our problems as Christians, instead of meditating the Word firmly into our spirit being, praying and waiting on God for answers, even clear direction from the Holy Spirit our Counselor, and if this is not enough, to seek wisdom counsel from fellow Christians who are more spiritually mature, this is what i do when i am not sensitive to the Holy Spirit in difficult situations, though it is usually the exception rather than the norm :) |
