When Sinners Say I do by Dave Harvey
Sin is crafty. It is inherently deceitful. The ultimate spiritual con game, sin stays in the shadows as it tries to control and take us captive. But unlike a con man who merely wants to separate us from our money, sin wants to separate us from God himself. Through its lies, sin presses us toward adopting a false perspective on our relationship with God.
Although we have been blessed by God, sin would have us think of ourselves as victimized by God. That’s how sin works now. That’s how it worked “in the beginning.”
The morning turned out with me focused on the evil actions of others. That is when the sin started. How is that sin? Well I did not focus on God’s blessings and also his promise. That he would not leave me or forsake me. That God has a plan, and evil is overcome. Well there is a spiritual realm and a physical realm. We do not know all that is going on but we do have to know that even if we suffer today then we do not suffer alone.
Psalms 85:2
You forgave the iniquity of your people, you covered all their sin.
