Psalms 19:13-14 NIV84
Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord , my Rock and my Redeemer.
In David's psalms, he asks God's help that he would not fall into temptation. The sin that he commits is a willful act rather than one of unmerited compulsion. He closes out the song with a statement... I may my words and meditations be pleasing to you (God)
For too long I've been walking in sin. The prayers that the sin not rule over mean have stopped. I know in my heart that sinning is not right, but when I'm so consumed in myself the act of sin does not even phase me with guilt. But this sunday, while doing the Lords supper I was convicted by God to come back. I know the things I've been thinking and saying have not been pleasing in Gods sight. Lately I've been having negative thoughts of people. Feelings that cause me to be cynical. I've been a harsh critic on those around me. The joy in which I received from the Lord is gone but the only thing that remains is the feeling of meaninglessness of life's struggle. And This is also what I feel about church... I know this is satan's doing. To make myself seem greater than I am by judging them. I need to pray about this.... I am not greater. And I have no right to measure others when I myself am struggling in my spiritual life.
Jesus break my pride. Cleanse me from sin and willfully walking into sin. I am not greater than anyone else but when I walk with my head up thinking that I know best about everything around me... It really dampers my relationship with you. I pray you make me humble and find peace. I want that desire to seek you all the more fervently. In Jesus name Amen.
