A HUMBLE PRAYER

Psalms 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

To ask God for His help in identifying error and sin in our lives in order to stay pure from transgressing His loving Laws is an absolute act of humility. It’s an acknowledgment and recognition of weakness, born of an innate need for God for the which, God is in turn more than willing to acknowledge through divine intervention.

Let it be our daily prayer. Let it be a prayer and a perpetual sacrifice on the brazen altar of God. Only God in His Word can help us identify sin in our lives, and only He can help us not to be overcome by it. From the Garden of Eden until today, the sole reason for sin is failure to call on God for His protection and help; King David seemed to be very aware of this as something he obviously had to learn. Even in the prayer that our Lord Jesus taught us to pray, this very notion is evident when He says, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (Luke 11:4).

Little do we know that the little compromises of today may very possibly lead us in the great apostasy of tomorrow. It is the little foxes that spoil the vine! (Song fo Songs 2:15)

Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
