--The Consequences of Compromise--

I was reading in the book of 1Kings 13:11-24 about this unnamed prophet that went from town to town doing great works and spreading the word. A man and his sons heard of this and went out to follow him. As they caught up with this prophet,they asked him to go back with them for dinner and fellowship. The prophet said that the Lord had told him not to go back at all. The family finally convinced the prophet to go back for dinner. As the prophet got back on the road after dinner,he was met by a lion that killed him.

Now it never says in the story why God told the prophet not to go back but in life sometime we dont know why God tells us the things He does or gives us the convictions that He does. See but it's not our place to understand God,cause in all honesty,God is to great for us to understand. If we begin to compromise our convictions,we run the risk of leaving Gods protection, His covering, and His blessings.
