To know the right thing and not do is Sin

So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.
JAMES 4:17 AMP

Thanks be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Today’s scripture draws our minds to the fact that it is not only the bad things we do that are sinful. We also sin by not doing what we know is right to do.

The scripture therefore makes it clear that both acts of commission and omission are a sin in the presence of God. So if I know someone has committed any offence and is being looked for and I keep quiet, have I sinned?

Anytime we refuse to do what is right in the sight of God, it is considered a sin according to the scripture of the day. We need God’s grace to strive to do right at all times.

Lord Jesus help us to abide by the Word of God so that we avoid both sins of commission and omission in Jesus Mighty name. Be our guide so we can discern and do right in Jesus name. Amen.

Be Still and Know that God is GOD

“Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”
PSALM 46:10 AMP

Glory and honour be unto God for the gift of a brand new day. This is the day that the Lord has made and we should rejoice and be glad in it. Hallelujah!

There are so many things (issues of life) that are competing for our attention, family, job challenges, finances, marital, unemployment, health and many more!

Today the scripture is telling us that in the midst of all these challenges we should recognise that there is God who created the entire universe and these issues of life are not beyond Him. The scripture says “Be Still”, meaning fret not, don’t worry but know that our Heavenly Father is able to come through for you and I.

It is time for us to turn down the volume of noises in our lives because of anxiety and listen for the still small voice of God ministering to us.

May the Lord walk us through every challenge. May His name be continually exalted on the earth and among the nations. May we stay calm and enjoy the goodness of the Lord.
Shalom.
