Job
13:23 How
many wrongs and sins have I committed? Show me my offense and my sin.
Has
there ever been a time that we have pondered and contemplated the magnitude of
the sin of God’s People? Sometimes it would behoove us to consider our own sin
and iniquity. When we consider our sins, we will realize that they do not only
affect us but have grave consequences on our friends, family, and all that we
encounter. What a cumulation of sin in the lives of all of God’s Children.
Attempt to multiply this by the multitude of the redeemed. We would find a
number all the computers in the world could not compute. In doing this, we
might take one tiny step towards realizing the massiveness of the number of
people that Christ Jesus went to the Cross to atone for their sins. We could
not even settle on a good number even by recognizing the remedy that covered
all the sins of humanity. Only by the innocent, precious blood of the Son of
God sacrificed on the Cross of Calvary can redemption be found.
Angels
sing in sweet harmony; all the heavenly choirs surround His Holy throne with
praise and worship. With this glorious divine praise and worship, Jesus steps
out of his glory and takes on the form of a mere human. He allowed Himself the
torture, shame, and crucifixion that He endured for you and me. There was no other method by which we could
ever hope to find eternal life, save the sacrifice made on the Hill of Calvary.
There
is no way we could ever come close to calculating the infinite value of the
sacrifice made for us on the Cross of Calvary. As tremendous and massive as the
sins of God’s people are, the remedy is incalculably superior and grander. Even
when our sins and the evil of Satan surround us like a great flood and the
bitterness of our past envelopes us, we can know that God is always there
(Psalm 55:22; Hebrews 13:5).
Gratification is content with what God allocated us; it is the inverse
of the covetous spirit that never finds satisfaction. The manifestation,
wisdom, and shelter that God provides is a promise and assurance that there
will never be a heartbeat that God is not right there with us. God’s presence,
providence, and protection assure the soul that there is no possibility that
God would ever desert us. When we claim that promise, it changes our
perspective on life.
Covetousness
or yearning for more gold, wealth, fame, and fortune indicate a deficiency in
the grasp of God’s sovereign care for His people. This disbelief essentially
places the value of worldly possessions against the sovereignty of God’s care for
us. We are not judged by what we have on this earth, but by our relationship
with Christ Jesus, our Lord, and Savior (Luke 12:15).
