consequence that hurts

Ever since from the time of Adam, very often we have to face the consequences of going where we weren't supposed to go. Adam and Eve faced the consequences when they did what they should not do. Moses did not enter the Promised Land as consequence to his action not to do as what had been said by God.

In our every day life, we have to make decision even forced to make decision. All decisions that we make will bring their own consequences. Bad decision will come with bad consequences. Therefore, in making decision, we need God's guidance. we need to seek God's help in order not to decide wrongly.

Sometimes out of curiosity or being unable to get rid of the temptations, we took the risk to go the opposite of God's way. We go astray from what we know is God's will and God's leading. As a result we return hurt and suffering. Sometimes, long after the side trip, we still carry the burdens and pain we brought on ourselves.

As a kid tried to learn riding bicycle, he would frequently fell and hurt himself. But he knew that they were the consequences of taking the risk to ride the bike. The hurts will heal by some medications as well as time. Some pains will heal when we take medication as prescribed by a doctor but some will take months to recover. Just as the doc and time healed us, we have a God and Savior who will heal us as well. When we humbly ask forgiveness, we are reconciled with God. Sometimes the consequences are with us long afterward, but our God is also with us, giving us strength to prevail.
