Psalm 63 Part 4

Read Psalm 63

This week we have been asking you to evaluate your desire for God. Has your desire to know Him increased? Has it remained the same? Has it diminished? Often the reason desire does not grow is simply something is keeping it from growing. That something is sin. I once had a pastor friend write in the front of my Bible, "This book will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from this book." Is there something in your life that you have not confessed as sin? Is there something that only you and God know about that is keeping you from growing in desire for God? Listen if you are saved then that sin has already been forgiven. That sin has already been paid for. That sin has no need of keeping a hold on you. You have been set free from its bondage through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. However we still need to confess it as sin and agree with God that its wrong. Then deal with it. Listen either you will deal with sin or sin will deal with you. I have said it many times and I will say it again. Sin will take you further than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay and cost you more than you want to pay. Take time now and confess your sin to God. God promises that when we confess our sin He will forgive us and cleanse us.

Father thank you for giving your son to set up free from sin. Thank you that Jesus Christ willingly laid down His life to give us life. Help us to be willing to except what He did for us and willingly confess our sin. Thank you for making a way for us not to have to live under sins bondage.
