Scripture: James 4: [17] Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.<\/p>\n
Observation: Wow that hurt. It hurts because I\u2019m so guilty of being lazy and making excuses not to do the things I know I should be doing. When it comes to serving or attending studies that would help me grow closer to God I make excuses and tell myself how tired I am. I focus on the little good I have already done thinking that\u2019s enough or its more than most do. knowing God deserves much more from me.<\/p>\n
Application: No more excuses. I\u2019m not going to avoid doing the good I know I should be doing and I\u2019m going to seek for opportunities to honor God instead of sitting on that stupid couch. <\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord thank you that you are not me, because if you were I would be burning in Hell at this moment, not worrying about someone as undeserving as me. I need your help Lord to be a man that does good in your name, because I\u2019m a sinner and that is not my nature. I need the nature of Jesus to honor you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
