¿Doing what others do? (Part I)

Jeremiah 15:19

'So the Lord says, “If you return, then I will let you take your place again, standing before Me. And if you take out what is of worth from what is of no worth, then you will speak for Me. Let these people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.'

I do not mean when we changes in dress that stipulates fashion or society (if we keep dressing with decorum, modesty and modesty (1 Timothy 2: 9-10)), nor to the good things that our environment has (since we know that we must take this (1 Thessalonians 5:21))... but aspects that do not help, do not contribute, do not solve ... do not build.
To put us in context, let's see the following examples:
1. The Word of God says that Asaph did not do a bad thing, but all he had to do was look at the bad thing so that his feet would almost slip!: "But as for me, my feet came close to falling. My steps had almost tripped. For I was jealous of the proud when I saw that all was going well with the sinful." (Psalm 73:2-3)

2. King Solomon, his wisdom was not enough when he started to listen to what his surroundings said... He surrendered his heart and end up doing what others did!: " He had 700 wives, kings’ daughters, and 300 women who acted as his wives. And his wives turned his heart away. When Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away to follow other gods. His whole heart was not faithful to the Lord his God, as the heart of his father David had been. For Solomon followed Ashtoreth the false goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom the hated god of the Ammonites. Solomon did what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. He did not follow the Lord with all his heart, as his father David had done. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the hated god of Moab, and for Molech the hated god of the sons of Ammon, on the mountain east of Jerusalem. He did the same for all his wives from other nations, who burned special perfume and gave gifts to their gods. Now the Lord was angry with Solomon, because Solomon’s heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel. The Lord had come to him twice and had told him about this, that he should not follow other gods. But Solomon did not obey what the Lord had told him. So the Lord said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept My agreement and My Laws which I told you, for sure I will tear the nation from you and will give it to your servant." (1 Kings 11:3-11)

Are we the kind of people who do what others do? Do not miss the second part!


God bless you and have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
