The Wrong Voice CLICK on the Scripture above to link into your daily reading plan.
April 15, 2014
By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today! |
TODAY'S WORD , like the pain we feel when we step on a sharp piece of glass, guilt is our moral warning system. Guilt is not necessarily a bad thing, because it is a reaction to something in our lives that is not right. But sometimes the devil can use guilt to drive us to despair.
This is why it is important to distinguish between Satan's accusations and the Spirit's conviction. A feeling of guilt and shame is not a bad thing if it comes from the Spirit of God. But if it drives us to despair and hopelessness, then we have listened to the wrong voice.
The devil will accuse us, saying we are not worthy to approach God. May I be blunt? We never were worthy. We never will be worthy. On our best day, we weren't even close to being worthy. As believers, we have been made acceptable to God through what Christ did for us on the Cross. We have been made acceptable in the Beloved. It is because of Jesus that we can come to God. So don't ever let the devil's accusations drive you away from the Cross, where you will find forgiveness.
You have a choice. The next time you sin, you can either give up in despair, or you can come back to the Lord and repent. Remember this simple truth: Satan will always seek to drive you away from the Cross, but the Holy Spirit will always draw you back to the Cross..
A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Almighty God, I pray for wisdom in these times of uncertainty. I look deep into my heart and soul to find your truth. I pray for comfort in times of spiritual restlessness - as I journey through the murky waters of sin and self-doubt. Lord, I pray for your word to enrich my life and bring me to a closer relationship and understanding with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ. And may all your children be granted the same wisdom, comfort, and the promise of your word throughout their daily lives, that we all can gather in your house and praise you more lovingly and faithfully from this day forward. In Christ's name, Amen. |
, my your life be full of His blessings.
Pastor Eric & Rita
