I believe that we justify the wicked in the way that we hold them accountable. When we hold someone accountable, we need to make certain that they take responsibility for their actions and assist in protecting them from returning to the same path despite their potential resistance. We need to help them create specific boundaries and a faith-based support system. I believe that God has given us the authority to do so.
First he’s walking, then he’s standing, then he’s sitting. This individual is slowly shutting down. “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked.” In this stage, he’s at the beginning of a downward spiral. It all began with his counsel… what he was reading, the music he was listening to, the things he clicked on, the people that he allowed to pour into his life and the people with whom he spent his time and eventually became…the very things he allowed himself to marinate in.
Throughout my walk with Christ, there’s been a direct correlation between when I feel a sense of accomplishment, contentedness and peace and when I’m feeling anxious, heavy-hearted and at times bitter. When I’m consistently in the Word and tuned in to my relationship with the Holy Spirit, my life is flooded with optimism, harmony and balance.
