Ten Seconds from Stupid - by Neal Hatfield

According to Psalms 51, sin requires a purging. When we are purged, we can walk away clean and free from the load of our sin. When David slept with a woman who was not his wife, he began to feel the incredible pain of his sin. When he was ready to repent to a holy GOD, he blamed nobody but himself. The sin that began in his mind soon consumed him. Listen to what he cried out to the LORD:

Blot out my transgression.

Wash me thoroughly.

Cleanse me.

Create in me a clean heart.

He cried out to the LORD because he knew he had broken the law of GOD. Even though he had hurt Bathsheba, killed Uriah, and consented to the death of some of his great soldiers, he realized the greatest pain he had caused was that he had broken the heart of GOD. That is when real repentance comes for any of us, when we say, "LORD against you and you only have I sinned." The good news is that GOD is always right. The great news is that HE make a way back home for all of us if we will come to HIM broken about our ugly sin. The truth is, we are all only ten seconds from stupid.  Ask the LORD to help you run from sin. Grab on to I John 1:7 and walk in the light of JESUS.
