How Can
I Know
All The Sins Lurking In My Heart?
Scripture
12 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?
Observation
Stupid sins lurking in our hearts! How do we get rid of them? How can we have victory over all of our stupid sins?
I am reminded of what Jeremiah says about our hearts in Jeremiah 17:9,
"The heart is the most deceitful thing there is and desperately wicked. No one can really know how bad it is!
Here are two verses I memorized when I first gave my life to Christ and was learning how to walk as a new Christian.
“How can a young man stay pure? By reading your Word and following its rules. I have thought much about your words and stored them in my heart so that they would hold me back from sin.”
Psalm 119:9,11
The definition of the word “lurking” is … “to lie in wait in a place of concealment especially for an evil purpose”.
Hiding in a place of concealment for an evil purpose … Wow … that is exactly what sin does in our hearts.
Application
I
will confess my sins as the Lord reveals them to me and not let them pile up or
let them hide in my heart. How about you?
1
John 1:9
But if we confess our sins to him, he can
be depended on to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. [And it is perfectly
proper for God to do this for us because Christ died to wash away our sins.]
Prayer
Psalm 19:12-14 Personalized
