DAILY DEVOTION - 17 DECEMBER 2019

Good morning. Peace be with you all. Rejoice in the Lord always. "Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it." James 4:17 NLT. Insight

We tend to think that doing wrong is sin. But James tells us that sin is also not doing right. (These two kinds of sin are sometimes called sins of commission and sins of omission.) It is a sin to lie; it can also be a sin to know the truth and not tell it. It is a sin to speak evil of someone; it is also a sin to avoid him or her when you know he or she needs your friendship. We should be willing to help as the Holy Spirit guides us. Challenge When we sin we have to repent and ask Gods forgiveness. Don't focus on other people and their sins. Work on your own sin, because the "wages of sin is death". If God has directed you to do a kind act, to render a service, or to restore a relationship, do it. You will experience a renewed and refreshed vitality to your Christian faith. May God bless and protect you all. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
