Jeremiah 4:22 NKJV
" For My people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children, And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do good they have no knowledge."
When we decide to do evil, we exhibit a lack of understanding. Knowledge of God and understanding of His plan and purpose will keep us from making wrong decisions. Oh God! Give us understanding that we may always choose to do the right thing.
