Devotional Day 14ish...

Sorry, it's been awhile, I have been away doing some training for the past 3 weeks or so. Anyway let's get back to it. Remember no study this week, we will wrap up our study on David the following week.

Psalm 38:1,3-5

Loathsome! Wow, talk about a word that just sounds disgusting. When you hear that word, what come to mind? Infected wounds? Something infested with worms or lice? Or do you think of your own sin? Chances are, not many of us really think about our sin as loathsome in God's eyes. But in this psalm we see that David did. He recognized that God is disgusted by our sin. He doesn't just say, "Well that's okay, I know you didn't really mean it that way." Our sin is repulsive to God. He hates it. It deserves His wrath. Do you have this picture of God's view of sin? Sin is something we have to work on rooting out, not babysitting or ignoring.

Have you ever been horrified at your sin? Should you be? Ask God to give you an intolerance for sin.
