Substaining Power! It's in His Word.

Psalm 19:12-13 "Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;Let them not have dominion over me:then shall I be upright,and I shall be innocent from the great transgression."

God's word contains all you need,His word is solid,chock-full of what everyone needs for life and godliness.There are no hidden agendas.God simply wants to use His word to bring all people to him.It's filled with truth and reveals to man the mind of God and His desire for Life.Embracing God's word and its goodness will result in total joy of heart.

When the children of God rightly heed the wise warnings of Scripture,we become  increasingly concerned about the dangers of sin in our lives.We come to understand that we have errors and faults to which we may be very well blinded.These secret faults, though hidden to us, are certainly no secret to God and are often also quite apparent to those around us.We may be able to fool ourselves, but God cannot be fooled (Saints God knows who is real in their walk with Him, and He is the only one that truly matters).So it is right and good for us to go to the Lord in prayer, asking Him for insight to discern our faults.When we desire to please God,He is pleased to help us see our shortcomings and deal with them appropriately.As the apostle John  declared by the spirit,if we say we do not sin, we decieve ourselves.But if we confess our sins(agree with God about them), then He is faithful to forgive and cleanse us.

Another important aspect of heeding the warnings of God's word is to be vary wary of willful sinning.   When we choose with malice of forethought to violate the commands of God,we run the risk of being enslaved by these transgression. David painfully understood this all to well,his horrible and presumptuous sins of adultery, deceit, and even murder in the tragic episode of Bathsheba and Uriah consumed the shepherd-king for the rest of his life. Is there any wonder that David prayed to be kept from presumptuous sin? By God's grace His people can stand against the great transgression of willful sin and thereby be found blameless and innocent before him.When we seek with a whole heart and clear conscience to do the will of our Redeemer God, then we have the great joy of knowing that our words and even our innermost thoughts can also please Him.

In reality God's wisdom about loving people and dying to self can revive our soul, making us more wise and joyful.To obey God by the empowerment of the holy Spirit becomes life-giving.We no longer have to do the things we did.We understand that God's laws are really the wisest way to live.We are cleaned by His word,Kept by His Word and saved by His word.............
