If you can’t be happy in your sin, that’s a good sign. True believers are never happy when they’re out of fellowship with God.
And if you’re out of fellowship with God, if you’ve sinned against the Lord, then you’ll be an unhappy person.
When the Devil looks for a Christian to take down, he looks for the one who’s following at a distance. He looks for the person who says, “Do we have to go to church again? Didn’t we do that last week? Read the Bible? Really? Again?”
Children of God hunger for these things. Compromisers on the other hand, only do them out of duty. And if no one is encouraging them to do these things, then they don’t do them.
If you’re following the Lord at a distance, you will end up in the miserable no-man’s-land of compromise. And in that dismal place you will have too much of the Lord to be happy in the world, and too much of the world to be happy in the Lord.
Don’t be that person.
