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.” <\/p>\n
Observation: I\u2019ve done so many things wrong in my life and yet didn\u2019t 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\u2019t 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\u2019t continue to sin, but be transformed into a new creation with a heart like Jesus.<\/p>\n
Application: I still have a very long way to go to have a heart like my Lord, but I\u2019m on the right track. I need to be sensitive to God\u2019s calling and the feelings of others. I need to recognize sin even before I do it and if I don\u2019t catch myself, then I need to ask for God\u2019s forgiveness and direction for my life. The closer I walk with my Master the fewer things I will do wrong.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
