Uncovering My Guilt

Scripture: Genesis 44:16 “What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “What can we say? How can we prove our innocence? God has uncovered your servants’ guilt. We are now my lord’s slaves–we ourselves and the one who was found to have the cup.”

Observation: I’ve done so many things wrong in my life and yet didn’t feel guilty. I would justify why I did things and it seemed logical to me, but I was only deceiving myself. When Jesus came into my life and filled me with the Holy Spirit He wouldn’t let me see things my way anymore, but he opened my eyes on how God sees what I did. My guilt was uncovered so I wouldn’t continue to sin, but be transformed into a new creation with a heart like Jesus.

Application: I still have a very long way to go to have a heart like my Lord, but I’m on the right track. I need to be sensitive to God’s calling and the feelings of others. I need to recognize sin even before I do it and if I don’t catch myself, then I need to ask for God’s forgiveness and direction for my life. The closer I walk with my Master the fewer things I will do wrong.

Prayer: My Lord please keep showing your servant how to live this life pleasing to you. If I do anything that would be against your will reveal it to me immediately that I may ask for your forgiveness and draw nearer to you. I love you and what to do what is right.
