I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels (Psalm 81:12)
Sin separates us from God, that most people don't want to be separated from God through sin; Notice that going after our own lusts, desires or plans may not sound bad or look like much of a penalty but in reality this is judgment; this is punishment. Those who persist in sin and rebellion, God leaves to their own lust and allows them to walk in their own counsels. Their desires will consume them without end, because there is no true or lasting satisfaction apart from God, they will forever lack contentment!! A person who is left to her own counsel without God will be like blind without a guide. He/she is free to walk in any direction he/she pleases, but there is danger and destruction on every side. The great punishment for sin is getting our own way. Let us always Put God First, seek His counsel it all our ways!!
