Sometimes it just doesn't seem like prayers are being answered. Sometimes
we are reduced to uttering, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!" Sometimes we are reduced to
moaning, "Jesus, Jesus! Jesus!" Sometimes we can only cry out, "Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus," in the middle of the night, the night of deep sorrow of the soul. The
night that breaks in to an unknown day.
Jesus, do what's best for our loved ones. All of them. Jesus send them home
to You again, Jesus.
Jesus seal up ungodly entrances that they've allowed into their lives,
Jesus.
Hedge them in, Jesus. Show a way where there seems to be no way,
Jesus.
Sin is sweet for a season and then the sour sets in. The utter nausea of
regret comes, the "How could I do this?
"How could I sink so low?"
"How could I break my Savior's heart?"
"How could I turn away from my family?"
Show us how to live, today and live well. Show us how to love today and
love well.
Thank you, dear Lord for this promise: "But
where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:" Romans 5:20.Show us how to live, today and live well. Show us how to love
today and love well. May Your grace forever win in our lives,
today.
When I speak of sin for a season it is not from the point of view of someone
who was never in that position. It's from the point of view of a woman who has
many regrets and would like to spare others from that.
Studying about sin for a season here today: http://www.scionofzion.com/proverbs_9_13_18.htm
Those who live for the pleasures of this world may think they have all
wisdom but the reality is that they are naïve and they lack understanding not
realizing that they are literally playing with fire. They are willing to
sacrifice their eternal future for a few years of wanton pleasure. To sacrifice
the eternal for the temporary does not show true wisdom but shows the spirit of
folly of one who has no understanding. Every person in this world attends the
funeral of someone we know and it is at that time that it should get us to think
of our own mortality. Unfortunately, the spiritually dead do not think upon
eternal things, only the things of this transitory life.
Prov 9:17 (KJB)
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
Those who live for the pleasures of this world will turn into the
harlot because she claims that stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret
is pleasant. There is pleasure in sin for a season. (Heb
11:25 KJV) Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Moses knew that it was
better to suffer in this world and live eternally with the Lord than live in all
the sensual pleasures of Egypt for a short season. The enticement of sin is that
it always claims no consequences. The enticement is that there will be pleasure
and enjoyment. This is the call of sin to every human being but it is the wise
person who can hear beyond the call and see beyond the present picture. (Heb
4:13 KJV) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but
all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him
with whom we have to do.
God sees everything and
nothing is hidden from His eyes. There is no such thing as secret sin. (Isa
29:15 KJV) Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and
their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth
us?
