When I was young I looked at sin as something I wasn’t supposed to do. Today, I realize that God created me with a purpose in mind. Am I supposed to be worshiping and praising God? Should I be praying about helping others? Should I be doing good works?
What does God want us doing? Consider praying:
“Father, show me the plans that You have for me.”
Genesis 39:9 “How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
When our lives lack purpose one sin seems like a simple negative. Then sin multiplies until it ruins us.
It is wisdom to consider one sin a great wickedness. It is wisdom to consider one thought about sinful things as sin against God.
When we have wisdom, we avoid the trap. We stay free to be the shining light that God wants us to be. Consider praying:
“Father, give me the courage to be a shining light for You.”
Finally, today I look at sin as something that will cause destruction and keep me from joy.
Consider praying: “Father, show me the full destruction of sin?”
Consider praying: “Father, help me to hate sin.”
Love God and hate sin so that your life is filled with light.
Jesus is a spectacular light. Always work on the habit of running from sin so that He can shine through you.
