Hit Your Knees and Move On

WOW! What do mean today is Wednesday? Where did Tuesday go? Every have a day like that. Sorry about not getting to this yesterdaybut I was swamped.

On Sunday Pastor Drew challenged us to live a guilt-free life. In my conversation with him befreohand, he mentioned that his title at one point was “Hit Your Knees and Move On”. I like that idea. But as a worship pastor that probably does not surprise you. Oh the joy of hiding in His holiness.

But as I mentioned Sunday, maybe you are hiding from Him. There is no need no need to. That guilt you are dealing with over some situation can be left at the foot of the cross. Jesus has already paid it ALL. Give it to Him. Do it right now. Right where you are kneel down and confess that sin and the guilt you have carried and let Jesus take it.

That kind of confession needs to be a part of our regular time with God. Often I pray, “Holy Spirit, reveal to me any areas of unconfessed sin.” Then I confess those to God, and thank Him for His forgiveness. It this a part of your time with God? Do you regularly spend time with God? It is essential to the life of the Christian to humble ourselves before our God on a regular basis.

The psalmist says “Come let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.” Do not harden your heart. Humble yourself before your God.

When was the last time you were on your knees before Him? We will likely have that opportunity Sunday, so why not prepare yourself this week.

IN CHRIST,

Pastor Scott
