(NOTE: This is a follow-up post to last week’s Monday Musings: the urgency we need in 2020.)
The urgency is real…
If you are not pursuing God every day, you are pursuing death.
So, every day becomes an opportunity for you to say…the old me is gone, and the new me is here.
Every day is an opportunity for you to live with the kind of urgency that seeks to kill the sin inside of you and become who you are in Christ.
Okay, so if you’re like me, you’re probably wondering…
WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
If you are feeling that sense of urgency in your heart that something needs to change when it comes to your everyday sins…
If you’re beginning to understand the gravity of your sin…and how much love that it took for God to send His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, down to this earth, to die for you.
If you’re feeling that kind of urgency right now, and you don’t know what to do with it, let me give you three action steps that you can take today and repeat every day…
Action step one: Confess your sin to God…own it and then repent and turn away from it. (1 John 1:8-9)
Action step two: Tell someone about it…don’t try to beat your everyday sins alone. It doesn’t work. (James 5:16)
Action step three: Cut off the lines of supply to whatever sin you’re struggling with…it’s better to not have to face the temptation to begin with than it is to continually be faced with having to fight it. (Hebrews 12:1)
And, in all of these things, remember this truth written by Paul in Romans 8…
“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.”
May God give you the will and the strength and the courage to do what you need to do today.
