Soul Snack 9/9 ... Sin Flight - E
Each day of my life my sinful past endeavours to capture my currently pure and sin free future.My desires for sin arises again. They are aroused by memory cues I 'stumble upon.'
Again then my sin is still held before me. Circumstantial refreshers to old ways present themselves anew. Guilt is thrust upon me and I am challenged to accept my powerlessness to resist yet again.
Seeking again to master me, sin approaches with a double assault. A two front attack of both covetousness and condemnation assail.
Will my past ever release me? Can I ever find a peaceful present? Will I be able to keep the still pure future pure? (For, this is what I want!)
O, where can I turn to for power but you O, Lord! Deliver me safely to that day when I will be pure and righteous before you. AMEN
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. John 6:68
Peter got it right.
