Keeping our Chastity with God

Genesis 34 & 35

Inspired thots

When we walk with God, we must be careful to keep our chastity for the Lord. Just like Dinah was defiled by the Shechemites and the family of Jacob had gathered many other gods along the way, we can be defiled by the things of the world and gathered lots of unpleasing stuff - making them our gods; it could be too much computer or TV; indulgence in hobbies or career; anything that takes us away from God.

Only Jacob remembered God and walked rightly before Him all his life. There must be self-checks to 'springclean' our selves to rid the unrighteous stuff within and ask God for forgiveness and cleansing.
We must always turn back to God if we cannot consistently keep walking with God; else, how can we hear from God?
