Because the heart is deceitful above all things (Jer.17:9), we need to be on guard,
Lest we confuse:
The incessant need to be right with a love of righteous
Religious complacency with standing in faith
The right to choose with genuine freedom
Craving relaxation with finding rest
Vain imaginings with visions from God
Loving what someone brings to our life with loving them
Receiving God’s grace with using it as license to go our own way
Or mistake:
An insatiable desire to win with living the victorious life
A calling from God with what we want to be called
The ministry of the Comforter with being comfortable
A sense that life is unfair with a commitment to justice
Being prosperous with being a witness for Christ
Having a good heart with having God’s heart
Knowing about Jesus with knowing Jesus
