Many times, we try to overcome the sin in our life on our own. We use our works, knowledge, and efforts to overcome sin instead of realizing that Jesus paid it all. In our own efforts, we may think we need to confess an overcoming scripture 1000 times or we need to pray for three hours a day. Unfortunately, all of our efforts will eventually have us going back to the sin we’re trying to overcome. Prayer and confession is great but, if that’s all it took then Jesus’ sacrifice was pointless.

Jesus paid it all. No matter how hard we try, we can’t replace the sacrifice of Jesus. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, God DOES NOT count our sins against us. So, don’t beat yourself up when you miss the mark. Have an understanding that Jesus died for all of our sins and God is not holding our sins against us.

When mistakes are made, continue to make a conscious effort to do God’s will.

Inspired by Pastor C. Dollar

1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

It’s great to get in the place where we need The Lord but, it’s better to be in a place where we desire The Lord. When we are in need, we can sometimes be in the place of desperation. We may have tried all of our options or we feel helpless.

When we want or desire The Lord, we are making a Him our first and only option. When we desire The Lord, we realize we can’t make it without Him. When we desire The Lord, we position ourselves not to be in a place of needing The Lord only for bailouts.

It great to realize we need The Lord but, it’s better to truly desire The Lord.

Isaiah 26:8 Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.
