Success vs. Purity

[Guest]

How do you succeed in this fallen world and remain pure?

Daniel gives us a good example...Joseph as well.

I think a commitment to not compromise is one key...and most importantly, remaining humble before God and looking to Him to lift one up.

a revalant question, it is hard. prayer and faith in jesus. I am guilty of not being holy and thus need to prayed for. a habitual sin habit.

As a woman, I can look to proverbs 31. Here are some verses for you that may help:

Joshua 1:8 (AMP)
This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.

Psalm 1 (NIV)

1 Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
