Deception

Ok, first of all I am just going to say I've been WAY behind in my readings. BUT I am caught up now and ready to stay active in this blog. Anyone else have problems with starting out strong and then tapering off as time goes by??? Just wondering.....

In today's reading I got hit again. Yesterday at church I was REALLY hit...and then in todays reading I heard the quiet whisper of my Lord convicting me. I read something I have never noticed before. Lev. 19:11~ Do not steal. (I'm ok with that) Do not lie. (ok I know it's a sin to lie so I try not to do that) Do not deceive one another. How many times do I mislead someone...not an outright lie mind you but tip toe enough around the lie that they draw their own conclusion to be something that is not true? UGH....a major area for me. I struggle with this most with my dh. I SO hate to have his disapproval that instead of being truthful and possibly disappointing him I let him believe what he wants to be true. Make sense or am I rambling?? Anyhow, just another area the Spirit has convicted me in which I need to repent and turn from.

Also read some VERY CLEAR verses against homosexuality that I can share with someone close to me. (no one in my town, but a relative living in another state)

  1. Just wanted to chime in here and say that yes, I am behind. I am trying to catch up. I was doing great until Leviticus overwhelmed me. I'm glad we have this blog to stay accountable or this would be when I might be falling off of the wagon!

  2. Hey Amy. I haven't gotten behind, but I haven't been blogging as much. I'm ashamed to say that Leviticus wasn't exactly exciting reading to me. I've confessed this to God and asked Him to forgive me. I did learn though, and am so thankful for God's Word. Now we're in Numbers... Lord, help my attitude. There are always a few good nuggets, but some of this stuff seems like tedious reading to me. I do keep thinking one thing though- I wanna see God. They saw a manifestation of His presence; they saw Him moving. I want that. And like Leigh says in a later post, I'm grateful for Jesus and to be living under grace! Otherwise I'd have been burned up long ago!
    Sure you don't know someone local who may need those verses? I'm just kidding! Actually I'm being ugly. I should go pray!
