We are living in a time when people do not care about, nor sometimes believe in, the consequences of our actions. Many people do what they know is wrong and expect to get away with it. They do not consider their impact upon others nor the potential negative consequences that they may incur themselves. People just seem to expect to get away freely from doing wrong.
Exodus 20:5-6 says, “You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.” As we obey God, we open the door to His favor. Obedience leads to blessing. Disobedience leads to trouble, not just for the disobedient person but for many others impacted by their actions.
