Isaiah 55:8-9 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
I struggled to quit that relationship God warned me against. Shame, fear coupled with spiritual pride hindered me from acting promptly. While talking to God, I told him that she was what I wanted and that he said in his word that he'll grant me the desires of my heart( Psalms37:4). I quoted other portions of scriptures where we were told to ask for what we want. Those faith scriptures came alive in me and they flowed out of me like a river.
Then, the Lord said, "Do not use scriptures to your own destruction". That struck me hard. If I had insisted on my ways justifying disobedience with scriptures, God would have allowed me have my way but I'll be out of God's will for my life. I discovered that we can justify disobedience with scriptures. Disobedience will never change status if backed by scriptures. Under any condition, disobedience remains what it is- disobedience.
When God promised to grant our heart desires, that scripture only applies in context of those desires that are in line with his will for our lives not our carnal wishes. If God has ministered to your heart to call it quit, it could be a job, friendship, relationship or whatever form of engagement you may be involved in, stop quoting scriptures to the author. Simply obey. The longer you stay in disobedience, the farther you'll be from where God planned for your life.
Father, I receive the grace to obey you promptly in Jesus name.
