Psalm 19:12

"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise." Proverbs 12:15
"In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death." Proverbs 12:28
"'Come now, and let us reason together,' says the LORD, 'though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat of the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword', for the mouth of the LORD has spoken." Isaiah 1:18-20

How do you think you are doing with your walk with the LORD?

• Are you going to Church every week (or so)?  
• Do you pick up your Bible when the spirit moves you? 
• Carry your Bible to church and then leave it in the car all week?
• Are you a good person: holding the door for blind people and old ladies (like in the commercial)? 
• Dropping a $20 in the offering plate, or even buying the Starbucks for the car behind you; "Pay it forward", they say! 

Is that your idea of your relationship with Jesus?

You know then, in your heart of hearts, you are just paying lip service to God. The Bible calls you a fool, and you are; because you may be fooling others (and yourself) but you are not fooling God.

We are called to righteousness and that leads to life!
We are called to repentance and that leads to righteousness!  You can't have one without the other.
Also, repentance is an on going thing. You just don't repent once and think you are finished! That turn around is just the first step in your walk with the LORD!

"But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteounesses are like filthy rags" Isaiah 64:6

No matter how hard we try, without the help of the Holy Spirit, we cannot achieve right standing with God! Everyday we breath, we need to purpose in our hearts to allow God to work in us. We need to repent of the sins we know we have committed and those we have committed without realization.

"Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults." Psalm 19:12

Father, open my eyes to see where I need to repent! Cleanse me from secret faults! You know my thoughts and the things in my life that are not pleasing to You; show me what changes need to be made to walk closer to You! Give me wisdom and understanding, so that I may not be a fool! I want to be wise; the desire of my heart is to be a reflection of You! In Jesus' name I pray! Amen!

I watch and wait for your Son's return!

Even so - MARANATHA!
