Psalm 36:2*
For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.
30 Days at the foot of the cross... Day 2
It's such an interesting verse... flattering myself to much to hate my sin. 'I'm not really that bad...'. I suppose that's what he means. He goes on to say:
he commits himself to a sinful course
and does not reject what is wrong.
and does not reject what is wrong.
I can't even say I'm not guilty of that. Knowing something wrong, but knowing I'm planning on doing it anyway, or allowing it to happen. At what point do I run out of grace?
Hebrews 10:26-27*
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
This is definitly not something I want - nor want to even think about. But is it really something I can afford not to think about? Day 2 asks very poignent questions that cut deep to the roots, and beg me to evaluate where I truly stand...
