WILLFUL SINS.
Wk 7 Day 4

Psalm 19:13-14

13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

It is my desire as well to be kept from my willful sins. My prayer is that GOD will help me to keep the words of my mouth and meditation of my heart pleasing before God. Just as David prayed this prayer, this is also my prayer to God as His servant.

I want to be blameless before God. To not be selfish and to think about others most of my time. To keep myself from willful sins, I must always renew my mind... to think only about Godly things; things that will expand the kingdom of God on earth; things that will make me think ahead and not of the now; things that will motivate me to move beyond my capabilities and grow out of them to be a better follow of Christ. Whenever I am drawn to commit a willful sin, whether "big or small" (there's no difference anyway!), I must re-direct my thoughts AWAY from it. You can do this, Belle.

Lord, 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 Your Son's name, Jesus. Amen.
