Genesis 20:6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Praise the Lord saints!!
Today we will meditate on the living righteously in this corrupt world.
Everywhere we find that people cheat, lie, betray to get their work done. It is very difficult to trust anyone these days and live holy in this corrupt world.
Psalms 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Psalms 49:9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
Psalmist says that it is possible with Lord's help to live a righteously and holy in the presence of Lord.
How will Lord help you in living righteously?
1. Lord will withheld you from sinning against the Lord
We are flesh and think fleshy. Paul says that there is a war between then spirit and body to do what is right. But we invariably do what is wrong due to fleshy nature. Hence by Grace of Jesus Christ Lord withheld us from sinning
2. Lord will withheld your soul from going to hell
That is the promise Lord gives to every believer that who confess his sins, believes in Jesus and accepts him as a saviour and soon coming judge will never see hell.
3. Lord will withheld you from corruption.
This is a powerful statement we see corruption every where and Lord's children being affected by them. Still Lord says we will not see corruption. How?? The answer is in that same verse. " That he should still live for ever". We are strangers of this world, we are citizens of that city which builded by Jesus. Hence after the second coming we will live eternally with Him and not see corruption.
Isaiah 38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
All your sins are cast behind your back and you will be delivered from the pit of corruption. So what does it mean should we keep sinning because God is good.
God forbid, but we should keep praying to keep away from temptations. How long should we pray to keep away from sinning th whole day. The answer is again in the Bible.
Mark 14:37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
Here Jesus specifically says that you must PRAY FOR ONE HOUR TO AVOID TEMPTATIONS.
Saints we are living in a world where the enemy deceives us by engaging our minds into different work so that we don't worship and pray to Lord.
Today set your time and pray so that you shall not sin against the Almighty.
God bless
