Hiding

We sin. We want to hide from God. We know that God can see us; but still we try to hide. We know God will find us; but still we hide.

It is, of course, better to not have sinned in the first place, but when we do, we should be quick to confess our sin and repent. Isn't it better for us to run to God for forgiveness than for him to come looking for us?

Worthless Things

Isn't it amazing how much time we spend focussing on worthless things? It may be the latest celebrity gossip, or binge watching the hot new show online, or playing games online, or almost anything else. Sure, they may be fun for a while and maybe even bring some zest to out lives. But do they revive us?

First of all, I guess we should remember that we need to be revived. We have become new creations in Christ, but when we sin, it deadens us and turns our hearts away from Him. We need revival. His Word can bring us revival. It reminds us of His love for us. It reminds us of all that He's done for us. It reminds us that if we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. How's that for revival?

Made Alive In Christ

Dead. I was dead. I had reaped what I sowed. My sin had earned it's wages. I was dead and there was nothing I could do about it. I was dead and alone.

But He made me alive. I didn't do it; He did. He made me alive with Him. I was no longer alone. I was with Him. My sin had been forgiven. Not just one sin, but all of it. The stench of death that it brought me was gone. I was made alive. I am alive! Are you alive? Praise God!
