How Can I
Know
All The Sins Lurking In My Heart?
Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me.
Scripture
12 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?
Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant from deliberate sins!
Don’t let them control me.
Then I will be free of guilt
and innocent of great sin.
14 May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Observation
How can someone throw his child off of a bridge? How can
men be so evil that they burn someone alive or behead them? We could go on and
on with horrible stories, but the truth is we have a terrible heart problem.
We don’t know what evil sins lurk in our hearts.
“The human heart is the most
deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who
really knows how bad it is? Jeremiah 17:9
The
secret to having victory over our deceitful and desperately wicked hearts is
spending time in prayer and being in God’s Word everyday!
I was reading up on my physical heart last night and I am pretty sure after a lot of searching that I have what is medically called “Sick Sinus Syndrome”. The doctors have thought that I could have “Microvascular Disease” and they have been treating me for that (and I still might).
This morning as I was reading God’s Word I was reminded that my spiritual heart also has a big problem. It has the “deceitful and desperately wicked disease problem”. It is called SIN.
Application
I will guard my heart against sin by being in God’s Word
and I will ask the Lord to keep me from deliberate
sins and not let them control me. How about you?
Prayer
