The Concentration of Personal Sin

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Verse: “Woe is Me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips.” – Isaiah 6:5

Quote: “When I get into the presence of God, I do not realize that I am a sinner in an indefinite sense; I realize the concentration of sin in a particular feature of my life.”

It is easy for us to confess that we are “sinners”; it is often used as a sign of humility among believers.  But when we are communicating with God, He won’t settle for such a generic label.  His Spirit presses until you confess that particular area of your life His light has revealed.  Then, as you give that part of you completely over to God, He will lay open to you a different area.  Be honest with yourself before God, and watch how He works in your life.
