No sin is to great to be forgiven, in today’s world people tend to please themselves first. I pray that I never let sin drive a wedge between me and God. God wants me to be close to him, but sin that remains un confessed makes his closeness impossible. Right conduct can come from a clean heart. If asked God will create a pure hear…
One of the hardest things to do is to let go of things we have no control over. We ourselves cannot "fix" everything. We all need t be reminded to pray for patience and let God work in his marvelous ways.
Psalm 51:12 - “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.”
The deeper we go into this prolonged season of isolation from one another I find myself less enthusiastic about doing business and social functions electronically. One of my most long time friends is retiring on Thursday and his wife has sent our invitations for a virtual gathering in his honor. As much as I love and respect my friend I cannot get excited about an event like this. Could Satan be behind the evaporation of joy and willingness of spirit? My enthusiasm wanes as the days of plague and all of its soul-crushing elements continue to drag by. This verse is …
