The Easiest Sin

Love you all, praying for you.
 
I just love God’s Word – it tells you what you wouldn’t expect.  Have you ever thought of the easiest sin to fall into?  Certainly, anything of the flesh is an easy fall.   Whether complaining, lust or greed, anger, slander, a critical spirit, laziness, bitterness, ingratitude… lots of things are easy to fall into because of our fallen nature.  But one that’s unexpected because you don’t expect it.  God said.  All we like sheep have gone astray, everyone has turned to his own way, and the LORD has laid on Him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all.   The sin God was talking about – that Jesus had to die for, because of… was not all the things you shouldn’t do.  Like the guy who said, “I don’t smoke, cuss or drink or chew, or hang with girls that do.”  We often think about things we shouldn’t do, as sin, but not about what’s good that we don’t do.  God called it “going your own way,” following your own plans instead of His good plans for you.  Going your own way, instead of His way, that sin required Jesus to give his life.  God said to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin.  It’s not just what you do that you shouldn’t, its also what you should do that you don’t.  You may recognize it, but often not.  “Come now, you who say today or tomorrow we’ll go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make a profit.  Why you don’t even know what will happen tomorrow.  What is your life, you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, whatever the LORD’s will is, that is what we will do.  (James 4:13-15) Praying that you would know His Good, His Good plans for you, His will - so you can do it!  That you wouldn’t go your own way, but His way.  It’s way better!  He has good for you.  Praying that PiVAT before dinner is your never miss.  Just do it now, if you didn’t.  He’ll tell which way from here.  Praying that PRISM is your constant come back to.  So He can confirm His plans for your good – by His Word!  And transform your mind, so you walk in wisdom, truth, knowledge and discernment – and success.  Praying that you would give up your way, for a better way, the way chosen for you, the way best for you, for your good!  So He can bless you and establish you.  Praying that you wouldn’t fall for that easiest sin, to follow your plans instead of His.  But that you would ask Him, and know, and do with joy – the best plan ever.  His plan for you today!
