I want a distaste

"It's people don't realize I am watching them. Their sinful deeds are all around them; I see them all." Hosea 7:2

There are very few times throughout my day that I am not asking the Lord to search me, test me, and examine my thoughts, my motives, intentions, and actions. I have this sense of fear and desperation to never be seperated from the Lord, to never hinder His purpose, His message, or be that fruitless fig tree.

I never want to be a complacent child of God, nor do I ever want my Heavenly Father to look down upon me and see me surrounded in sinfulness. The mere thought of any of that leaves me paralyzed. Along with the thought of those who willfully choose to live in sn.

I pray that God will give us such a distaste for sin that it leaves us sick. I pray that He will daily reveal to us all areas in our lives that offend Him and that we will listen, confess and turn from them (literally). I pray that we will wake up, smartin up, straighten up, and wise up when it comes to God and sin. I pray that we will stop trying to straddle both God and the world. And most of all I pray that we will make Psalm 32:5 apart of our every day lives.

"Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, I will confess my rebellion to the Lord. And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone." Psalm 32:5

Remember God is watching you and He sees everything, He also goes everywhere you go so take that into consideration the next time you walk in somewhere you know is not pleasing to Him.

Prayer: Lord search us and know our hearts, test us and know our thoughts, point out anything in us that offends You and lead us along the path of everlasting life. Show us any and all sins that are lurking within us and keep us from deliberate sin. Amen
