What are presumptuous sins and why did David pray for God to keep him from them? Conversely, what are respectable sins? Could there be some sins that are understandable and excusable?
Also, why does God talk so much in the Bible about the importance of remembering what He has done for us? What do we need to remember in our battle with sin? Find out the answers to these and other questions in today’s post.
As January comes to an end and the second month of the year begins, many of us will be examining the goals and resolutions we made just a few weeks ago. We’ll examine our progress (or lack of it) concerning a new diet, exercise plan, or some other goal. If we’re in school, we take examinations to test our proficiency in those subjects. And when it comes to our health, we get numerous examinations and tests to ensure we stay as healthy as we can. But how many of us take the time to examine the most important thing, our spiritual health?
We all want our children to grow up successful in their chosen endeavors and leaders in various areas of life. That might mean being a great mom or dad or in a career or both. But we need to be careful not to focus on success and leadership from a worldly perspective. God’s will in those areas is very clear. I’ve talked about success in other posts but today we’ll look at God’s kind of leadership … servant leadership. And there is a warning here, as well, because when we fail to teach these principles, we set our children up for failure in every area of life.
