How Can
I Know
All The Sins Lurking In My Heart?
Psalm 19
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.
Observation
Sin!
That
one word will probably keep you from reading anything else that I write in this
blog!
Our
Sunday School lesson this morning is titled, “One Great Problem” and the main
point of the lesson is “Without Christ we are condemned forever.”
God
has a purpose for you and for me. It is to bring Him glory and grow in our
relationship with Him. Sin is what keeps messing us up!
You
and I are sinners!
But
what caught my attention as I was reading this chapter was the word “lurking”
and that is what I want us to think about this morning.
I
Googled the word “lurking” and here is what I found, “remain hidden so
as to wait in ambush for someone or something”.
Lurking in our hearts, hidden waiting to ambush us and
destroy us is sin!
How can a young person stay pure? By
obeying your word. I
have tried hard to find you— don’t
let me wander from your commands. I
have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:9,11
Because
“Sin” likes to hide in our hearts we should intentionally hide God’s word in
our hearts so sin doesn’t have any
room in our hearts to hide!
Ephesians 1:7
He is so rich in kindness that he purchased our freedom through
the blood of his Son, and our sins are forgiven.
Application
I
will guard my heart and I will confess my sins and not continue in them.
“But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.” 1 John 1:9
Prayer
Heavenly Father, May the words of my
mouth and
the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Don’t let me hold on to sin in my heart. Show me when I sin and help me to confess it. I don’t want it lurking in my heart where it can destroy me. Don’t let me do stupid sins that mess up my relationship with You and my relationship with those around me.
be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Don’t let me hold on to sin in my heart. Show me when I sin and help me to confess it. I don’t want it lurking in my heart where it can destroy me. Don’t let me do stupid sins that mess up my relationship with You and my relationship with those around me.
