Not only to lay aside every weight,but we are challenged,as regards the sin that so easily besets us,and the question is,what is our besetting sin.Is it covetousness?,is it taking the Lords name in vain?, is it in the sexual realm,are we feeding into it, on the inter-net?.Is it gossipping?,is it judging others?,is it cheating in some way?,is it idolatry?,is it unforgiveness?.So we could go on,as I write this,I must ask myself,what is my besetting sin?,we all have something,well is it not time that we stopped.and started being more honest to ourselves,and to God.It appears to me if we don't deal with them our Saviour will,for His will for everyone of us is holiness , make not little of little sins,God doesn't. Consider the word easily,it gives the idea of us being comfortable with it,of us not really facing up to it,of tolerating it, making excuses for it,maybe of rationalising it,instead of judging it by Gods word. Proverbs 14 v 9, tells us that fools make a mock of sin,they make light of it,don't take it as something that needs to be taken serious,well we have to remind ourselves how serious God takes sin. Hell is full of people who didn't take sin serious,did not consider its consequences, and let us never forget there is always consequences in relation to sin,first in relation to God,and in relation to ourselves,most people who do wrong hope they will never be found out, but when it comes to sin we are told ,be sure your sin will find you out.[ Numbers 32v23 ]
A prayer...../ Dear God help us to be truly holy,grant the will to deal with our besetting sins, we ask this in the name of Jesus Amen/
