Lane Change
John 4:34-38 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
God changed lanes on me this morning as I reflected on the evangelistic message in the scriptures above. The Spirit began to press on me a sin that I had not repented for. It was a sin of how I discipline my boys; verbally; but I have been praying for help on. Satan wants to condemn me in it, the Spirit wants to help me with it.
I sit here this morning
Seeking God early in the day;
I have an eager heart
For in Him I find the way.
He comes in the scriptures
Speaking of spreading His name;
Of giving people a hope
Forgiveness of sin, not to blame.
He then presses on me
Points to sins that cause pain;
Of how deep my need for Him
From them I must refrain.
My words can be strong
They can build up and tear down;
I pray for forgiveness
Mercy and grace to abound.
I pray for change
From the inside out
The work only He can do
The work I cannot do without.
I seek to spread His name
For the hope that lies within,
To share of a future paradise
To experience forgiveness of sin.
When Satan comes he presses
He makes the sin hurt deep,
When the Spirit comes and presses
He reminds you of what you can keep.
The Holy Word of God
Reveals much to you;
From sins to a Savior
All you must do is pursue.
