Muddy Water

Proverbs 25
Verse 26 "If the godly give in to the wicked, it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring."

We can not be overpowered, the only way the enemy can defeat us, is if we give in. Satan uses pressure and discouragement to try to get us to give in. Satan knows he can not defeat us but he can try to convince us to quit. Now here is an important note, when the godly give in, it muddies the water for everyone around them. When the godly give in to the wicked, the lines between right and wrong, good and evil become very hard to distinguish. All of a sudden everyone in your circle of influence begins to struggle with why they do what they do and because of your decision to give in to the pressure, quitting starts to look good to everyone around you. Like it or not your life creates a chain reaction for good or evil, your life encourages people to stand against the enemy or it encourages them to lay down and walk away from what God has called them to do.
