Depart

Proverbs 16:6
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged:
And by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

It's through mercy that we are forgiven - none of us deserve what JESUS did for us - we all have fallen short - we all have gone astray - I know it's hard to admit this - I went through a time when I thought I was doing just fine on my own - but now I see that I am nothing apart from the LORD - without HIM we all die in our sins - without HIS sacrifice - there would be no salvation - let that sink in.

Jesus said HE was the truth - the only truth worth knowing - and it's through this truth we come to know HIM as Savior and Lord - it's through Mercy and Truth that we can come before Him - because in our sins we cannot even approach the KING -
we must have the blood of JESUS poured out over our lives -

When these two things happen - Mercy and Truth - we can then learn to fear the LORD - and in doing so -we will want to only please Him - but before you think this will be easy - you need to remember the flesh will rise up often and try and take control - when this happens we must go back to God and surrender once again -and sometimes this will happen many times in a single day - We must fear God! We must depart from evil - when we give our lives over to CHRIST - HE will begin to change our heart - but we must allow this world or circumstances to come between us and God - or else sin may begin to rule in our lives again - many may feel they are rock solid in their faith - but faith that has been be tested is not really faith at all - it's easy to believe when things are going smoothly - but what about when the bottom breaks out - this is personal for me - for I feel in some ways the bottom has broken out and I wonder if I am leaning on JESUS like I say I should - HE is our only hope - going through trials is never a fun thing - but in it - we may begin to fear the LORD and then we will want to walk in obedience - and we will want to please HIM!
I'm not there yet - what about you?
God bless you all - Daniel
