Make A Decision

We cannot afford to flip-flop between virtue and vice, between integrity and vanity. There is not time to take dangerous detours into forbidden territory, either out of curiosity or by design. "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve" Moses 6:33. If eternal life is what we desire; if the continuation of the family unit is what we long for; if peace and happiness here and a glorious reward hereafter is what we covet, then the price is virtue. It is a lifetime pursuit to become a virtuous woman, not a spiritual condition we can spring into suddenly or attain through spiritual marathons; like the oil in the lamps of life, virtue must be deposited one tiny drop at a time. But first we must decide what we want most. Then we must commit to our Lord to walk in His ways all the days of our lives.
