It festers. It grows on the inside and manifests all sorts of hell to the rest of the body and the world.
Why do I know this? Well, I am the chief of sinners. But God, in His great kindness, made a way for me despite my sin.
Psalms 38 reminds me of Romans 7:18, “For I know that there is nothing good in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.”
Pride says that we can muscle it out and do life on our own. But as believers we know that this is simply not true. We cannot do it on our own.
And that is the beauty of our faith. We don’t have to. God so graciously gave us His son to die for us and put the Holy Spirit in our hearts to convict us of sin and lead us to righteousness.
Thank you God for the Holy Spirit. Thank you for being a God who gets angry at sin and pursues us all the while. Help us run after You and not race this life by ourselves.
My sin lays heavy on my heart
