We are back live! If you are just joining us, "Welcome!" This Blog has been set up for YOU! My desire is to have you ladies read a weekly devotion or thought provoking challenge that you can comment on and also get to know each other in the process. Each Tuesday (I like to call it "Blog Tuesday") there will be something new posted so be faithful to check it out. The only thing required of you is to be REAL...no judgements, just honesty. My prayer is that growth, encouragement, and love for one another is the result. So here goes....
------------------------------------------------------------------
Last weekend, I cleaned my entire house. It's been awhile so things were pretty dirty. I couldn't believe how many cobwebs there were in almost every corner I came too...some even had spiders in them...ewwww! It got me thinking.
How often do we just allow our sin to hang around like cobwebs. I know they are there and don't really "feel" like doing the dirty work. So, I ignore them and before I know it-the cobwebs (my SIN) keeps showing up in every corner. God does not want us to hide from our sin...HE is there to help us face it head on and kill it!
But what does that require of us? We need to be watchful, active, and in prayer. When we do see it, don't ignore it, but go after it. With the help of the Holy Spirit and a true desire to repent and "turn away" from sin, there will be alot less cobwebs hanging around in your heart.
So...Let's talk
~Is there a specific sin that you are ignoring or not dealing with?
~What one thing can you do this week to turn away from that sin?
~What weapons does God give us to fight sin?
Take sometime to pray and ask the Lord to help you see areas of sin in your life. Talk it over with your parents and see if they have any observations for you. Comment and share your thoughts here if you would like to.
He gives us WEAPONS like trust, peace the holy spirit and also hope!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have weapons in the people God has placed in your life, especially your family, they will watch out for you and let you know when you have made a mistake, and then help you make it right. :)
ReplyDeletesometimes the spider is like the devil working in that sin and making it bigge and bigger in your life. God wants us to pray and crush those sins with the devil in it. but we cant crush those things without God helping us and he knows that. the Bible says to call upon the Lord in your trial and your pain and he WILL answer you if your heart is pure!
