DAD'S DAILY BREAD

25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. Romans 1:25 esv

First I want to start by asking the Lord for mercy on my soul. Please forgive me for all the times I have chosen sin over You and Your Holy decree to be holy! It’s hard not to think of my past and the guilt and shame of my past sins slowly start to cloud everything. Like I’m slowly sinking in a pool. But then I am reminded of the truths of God, sometimes it takes longer than others, but eventually I choose by faith to forgive myself because I truly think God has forgiven me of my sins. But I still face consequences today from my past and so it’s hard not to think about where my family and I would be if I didn’t make those poor decisions. That guilt and shame get really bad when I think about my dad and all the things I did to my parents and thinking maybe if I was a better son my dad would still be alive… 

I know that’s not all true but it’s a good example of when you exchange the truth for a lie. The lie doesn’t stop there, it grows and it festers. Pretty soon you’re so lost you don’t even remember where you began… It gets really easy to forget you are the son of a King. That you have been bought with a price. Bought with the blood of our Savior! Thank you Lord for the forgiveness of my sins and the grace and mercy that is new every morning. 

APPLICATION:

Stop allowing sin to take any more of my life! Radically amputate the things that create that veil in between the Lord and !. Remember the Truths of the word as I live. Don’t let my mind go to the dark sinful places of the past. Continue to wash my mind with the word daily. Sometimes hourly… Continue to grow with like minded men that also want to honor God with their lives. The Holiness of Christ is the first and last thing on my mind. Honor Christ with everything I do all the way down to the ideas and thoughts I give space to in my head. Be bold enough to talk about Christ more often. Live out my faith in action by serving the Lord and serving my family. Be better because HE deserves it!
