Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 9 December 2022

 Sinning Isn’t Easy

Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.” (Proverbs 13:15)

Today’s Morsel: Sinning isn’t easy.  Don’t let anyone fool you. Sinners are always looking over their shoulders. If you stop and observe, most sinning is done in the dark and in dark places. Do you now see why the world is called being in darkness?  Sinning is a rough and rugged road to travel.  It makes it easier to stumble and fall, and you cannot walk with pleasure and a good conscience. You will find yourself loaded with guilt, and often filled with terror and fear of failure. Writing to the church at Rome, Paul asked: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:1-4) Remember, as born-again believers, sin should not and must not have dominion over you.

Sing: No sin in heaven, no crying in glory, all of God's children, will be happy don't you see?  No pain, no sorrow, no worrying about tomorrow, for God's children will be happy, don't you see?

Thought For Today: “Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.” (1 John 3:6)
