ULTIMATE CARE DEVOTIONAL ⛪💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2022Today’s Theme: ⛪ BEWARE OF PRESUMPTUOUS SINS“Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then I shall be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression”.Text: Psalm 19:13MESSAGE🍎Presumptuous means overstepping due bounds (as of property or courtesy). It means taking too much liberties. Its synonyms are: pompous, pretentious, overconfident, foolhardy, and arrogant, rude. Presumptuous Sins are deliberate sins. They are sins committed with the full knowledge that they are sins and in full light of what God has said. Presumptuous is sin that is committed willfully against known truth and knowledge in total disregard for that revealed truth. Presumptuous sins are self- destructive and should be avoided at all cost. You can still put it this way; Presumptuous sins are always conscious sins that are committed knowingly after deliberation, and in full knowledge of what is involved. In this case, Presumptuous sins are ultimate rebellion against God. Presumptuous sin is a rape of God’s mercy. Such was the prayer of the “man after God’s own heart.”Did holy David need to pray thus? How needful, then, must such a prayer be for us babes in grace! It is as if he said, “Keep me back, or I shall rush headlong over the precipice of sin.” Our evil nature, like an ill-tempered horse, is apt to run away. May the grace of God put the bridle upon it, and hold it in, that it rush not into mischief. What might not the best of us do if it were not for the checks which the Lord sets upon us both in providence and in grace! The psalmist’s prayer is directed against the worst form of sin—that which is done with deliberation and willfulness. Even the holiest need to be “kept back” from the vilest transgressions.It is a solemn thing to find the apostle Paul warning saints against the most loathsome sins. “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” (Colossians 3:5)What!, do saints want warning against such sins as these? Yes, they do.The whitest robes, unless their purity be preserved by divine grace, will be defiled by the blackest spots. Experienced Christian, boast not in your experience; you will trip yet if you look away from him who is able to keep you from falling (Hebrews 12:2).Ye whose love is fervent, whose faith is constant, whose hopes are bright, say not, “We shall never sin,” but rather cry, “Lead us not into temptation.” (Mathew 6:13).There is enough tinder in the heart of the best of men to light a fire that shall burn to the lowest hell, unless God shall quench the sparks as they fall.Who would have dreamed that righteous Lot could be found drunken, and committing uncleanness? Hazael said, “Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing?” (2 Kings 8:13) and we are very apt to use the same self-righteous question.May infinite wisdom cure us of the madness of self-confidence.PRAYERSHeavenly Father, I thank you for giving me understanding of your word. Lord I am grateful.Help me Lord to walk in the way that is pleasing unto God. Father, give me understanding so that I may live according to your will. Guide me do thy blessed will always. Separate from o lord from all presumptuous sins and forgive me in turn. Father, let presumptuous sins not have dominion over me, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.Father, I appreciate you for this grace given to me. In my going out this day, let thy good Spirit guide and help me always to do your blessed will. Let the favour of God compass and saturate me today. May I see you in glory in Jesus mighty name, Amen.FURTHER BIBLE READINGNUMBERS 15: 30-36.BIBLE PLAN OF THE YEARMORNING: GENESIS, 11-12. EVENING: MATHEW, 11-12💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦Hammer Word Cares ♨️
