Thought of the Day August 19, 2019 The cancer cells of sin
We
are far too hospitable with our sin. Our hearts are callously numb at times.
Instead of uprooting our sin at its core, we are feeding it. Instead of
loathing our sin we are loving it. Instead of destroying our sin we are
desiring it.
We
should be appalled, disgusted, shocked, and grieved in the depths of our hearts
over our sin. All our sin is treason against God. Not just the prideful, lying,
stealing, and lusting sins but sins of the tongue, sins of anxiousness, sins of
bitterness, sins of partiality, sins of complacency, sins of jealously, sins of
impatience, and sins of arrogance, sins of ambition, sins of gossiping, sins of
un-forgiveness and sins of omission. We
should grieve over them all. These are our blind spots. These are the things
in our spiritual life that keep us from being all that God wants us to be. These are the cancerous cells that are destroying us from within.
When
was the last time we looked our sin in the mirror and came away broken? When
was the last time we felt the gravity of our sin as betrayal against a holy
God? When will we flee from sin?
