Since the days of the Garden of Eden Satan has been selling us lies and we’ve been buying them. We’ve believed the aged old lie that we’re missing out if we surrender all to Christ. We’ve believed that saints don’t have fun. I think that’s why some of us won’t let go of our past; it’s comfortable, it may have been daring, and probably popular. But when we really think about the things we did before we got saved, I’m sure it caused us stress, put us in debt, caused us to pray and say if you get me out of this I promise I won’t do it again, and it may have even made us thank God for saving our lives (literally from danger).
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us, Psalms 103:10-12. As we look at today’s Scripture we see that even in our time of rebellion against God (while we were yet sinners) He did not pay us what we deserved. Instead, he loved on us and wooed us into a relationship with Him. Can you find areas in your life where God’s mercy was evident? Does those times of grace and mercy outweigh the time you spent outside of His will? Think about it. If you truly love God and have developed a relationship with Him, you really shouldn’t be missing those things that grieved His spirit.
Put your trust and belief in God and not in the father of lies. God is the only One who knows all. But even more important, when we do make a mistake, God is the only One who is able to forgive us and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.
Are you believing any of his lies today?
Your thoughts?
