Please Keep Me From Sinning

Scripture Exodus 20:20 Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.”

Observation: I don’t think a day goes by without me committing some type of sin. I find it so difficult to love each person and my first thought is always a negative one. I might say something and try to justify it or put myself above God and others. Each day is a test on how well I’ll do and even though I might continue to improve I’m far off from being the man I should be for my Lord. I need more fear of my Lord when I decide to do something. Not that He will strike me down with lightning, but that I will fear that I will let Him down, again.

Application: I need to be able to see God in all that I do, He should be my main focus no matter what I’m doing. He is the reason I get up each morning and only by His grace do I even exist. Each day is a test and I need to study, because the results of these tests will be read in heaven and I want a passing grade a grade I will be proud of taking home to my Father.

Prayer: Thank You Lord for each day you have given me whether good or bad. No matter what happens open my eyes to what you are teaching me and that I see your hand in everything that I do. I’m here to serve you and honor you, help me Lord pass the final exam with flying colors.
