Sinful deeds-Deeds sinful

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


Their sinful deeds are all around them. Two words-Sinful and deeds. What exactly does a person look like who is surrounded by sinful deeds, I asked the Lord, and boy did I get an eye and ear full.

Sinful- the root word of Sinful is sin, which means moral evil; transgression of or rebellion against God's laws; perversion of the heart; missing the mark. Add the ending ful and this is what you get. Full of moral evil, full of transgression and rebellion against God's laws, and full of perversion in and of the heart.

Deeds-means feat or exploit, action or act.

After I became more familiar with the definitions of these words the Lord showed me something that opened my eyes to see what we might look like when surrounded by sinful deeds. He took the words and switched them . Their deeds sinful are all around them.

Their actions are full of evil, rebellion, and their hearts are perverse. In David's terms, "Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God to restrain them. In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do what is good. They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their course of action is never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil." Psalm 36:1-4


We might think this does not apply to us, but it does in so many ways because we are sinners. Thinking the Lord was finished He led me to another example of what a person might look like surrounded by sinful deeds. It is found in Romans 13:13, "...Don't participate in wild parties and getting drunk, or in adultery and immoral living, or in fighting and jealousy."  Then we flipped over to Colossians 3:5 "Have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires." 


And just in case I wasn't getting it, my amazing Father of whom I truly love broke it down even farther word by word.

Galatians 5:19-21 A person surrounded by sinful deeds produces this, "When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin." 


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

I see all of that the Lord said to me, I see it ALL!

Prayer; Lord thank You for bringing Your word alive within me. Forgive me for having surrounded myself with sinful deeds. I praise You that non go unnoticed and as a result of that they are brought to light before You and You bring them to light before me so that I might turn from them and walk blamelessly before You my mighty God. Amen
