Is There Birth to Sin in Your Life?

God listens from Heaven.
Have your sins cut you off from God?   

Listen! The LORD's arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call. It's your sins that have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore. Your hands are the hands of murderers, and your fingers are filthy with sin. Your lips are full of lies, and your mouth spews corruption. No one cares about being fair and honest. The people's lawsuits are based on lies. They conceive evil deeds and then give birth to sin. Isaiah 59:1-4

Meditate. Read God’s word, hear, and listen to what He is saying.

 

Read those verses in Isaiah again. God listens—but do we? When people sin, they cut themselves off from God. Consider His purity as God turns away and won’t listen anymore to the murderers and those with dirty, sinful hands. No wonder Moms are always telling their kids to wash their hands! No…I realize that it is a germ thing that makes parents so intent on children continually washing their hands. Dirty hands and nails harbor bacteria and viruses that can develop into nasty colds, flu, and other diseases like COVID that can be debilitating or even deadly. Those “dirty hands” are not necessarily sinful.

Isaiah was concerned that no one cares about being fair and honest. Look around you—is the world any different now? The lives of most people—at least in the United States—center around “me”—what I want or need. Does it take an evil deed to get whatever that person wants? Those evil deeds may begin with a lie or bad language. A little evil gives way for more and jails are full of people doing those evil deeds. Those evil deeds are sinful in God’s eyes, so after He has tried to save mankind and they resist His efforts, He looks away. Who wants to be rejected by God? The sinful, prideful, arrogant, evil people of the world.

 

Prayer – Lord, Thank You for caring. Please forgive me for harboring the sin of ___________________ in my life. I confessed that I wasn’t ready to forgive another person, but through others, You intervened—and the forgiven offense vanished. Life is complicated—but with wise choices, we can live to please You. Jesus, You made the ultimate choice to be the sacrifice for our sins, but Hallelujah, You were resurrected. Death is admirable—it was necessary to destroy sin—but we can rejoice that You were raised from the dead. I look forward to that for me, too, and for all those who believe in You and serve You.

 

Verse of Salvation ~ For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There's no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
