James 1:15
How do we respond when fear clouds our judgment? In Genesis, Lot’s daughters, feeling isolated and desperate, took matters into their own hands to preserve their family line, committing grievous acts. Their story is a cautionary tale of what happens when we rely on ourselves instead of trusting God’s wisdom and timing. James 1:15 warns us that sin grows when conceived in desperation and fear, eventually leading to spiritual death. Like Lot’s daughters, we may be tempted to make choices based on fear or self-reliance, but God calls us to trust Him fully. His guidance protects us from the dangerous path of moral compromise.
