Please Stand By…

When the night.. is young… actually, when you’re no longer so much a little boy and your mate needs help, you need to stand by. I should say, I need to stand by.

Even if your wife doesn’t typically want help, you should still be at the ready. I once heard a husband who clocks off work at the office ought never clock out at home.

I thought that was a little extreme but it’s true. The same goes for sin. I  was told awhile back to live intentionally. I may have tried, but it sounded cliché.

Today, I realize this is necessary and requires practice. Sometimes I sin knowing of certain consequences, but sometimes they don’t cross my mind.

Practicing  intentional living seems crucial in order to better avoid sin. I typically think I can avoid a sin for awhile, but then I fall into it again.

If I am intentional, I’m better prepared for whatever comes my way. God is merciful but also righteous.  There are consequences to sin, and they can hurt not just myself, but my family also. The consequences are to point me in a better direction.

Did I get all that from Ben E. King? Not hardly. I got it from the school of mess-ups. The trick is to learn and change for the better.

Please pray for me to change and I’ll pray for you in the same way. Feel free to comment below.
