before acting. Yahweh would have exposed the lie. He would have told His people what to do, if
only they had inquired. Christians today suffer many hurtful things because they do not seek
Yahweh in all of their decisions. The answer may appear obvious to you. It may be something
that you do not think requires deliberation. You need to inquire of God anyway.
There are many decisions you will make that will bear great consequences on the lives of your
children. The most dangerous path is simply to go with the flow. It may seem to be the path of
least resistance, but when the whole world is driving furiously toward moral collapse and a fiery
judgment, it is unwise to follow them unheedingly. Question everything. Seek counsel daily from
the Father.
A matter that seems so innocent as whether to follow a doctor’s prescribed advice for a
pregnancy and birth may bear profound results for both your own life, and that of your child.
Remember the reproach that is contained in Yahweh’s description of the life of King Asa.
II Chronicles 16:12
And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa became diseased in his feet. His disease was severe,
yet even in his disease he did not seek Yahweh, but the physicians.
Of how many Christians can it be said that they did not seek Yahweh, but the physicians? Do not
let this be the final testimony of your life.
