SPIRIT OF PRAISE O Lord, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from all who are violent, those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long. Their tongues sting like a snake; the venom of the viper drips from their lips Lord keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Protect me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me…You are my God! O Lord I cry out for mercy! Psalm 140:1-6. WISDOM SPEAKS 10 The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed; They shout for joy when the wicked die. 11 Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, But the talk of the wicked tears it apart. 12 It is foolish to belittle one’s neighbor; A sensible person keeps quiet. PRAISE FOR REPENTANCE Then John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan River, preaching that people should be baptized to show they had repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven. Luke 3:3 Turning away from sin, we must turn towards God. We must choose to live a moral life, and have a personal relationship with God. We need to trust in God to guide us and help us remove any sin he points out. When we are right with God, we can focus and prepare for the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In turning away from sin we need to study his Words. We need to be obedient to his directions and we need to be on the inside of his will not the outside. We should have a desire for a new life, and insurance policy against disaster. We should make a personal commitment to follow Christ. In turning towards Christ we must confess our sins and make a personal decision to trust and follow Christ. Let our action of turning from sin speak volumes about who we are as believers in Christ. Act on what the Lord our Savior says. Show others his ways by our actions, and the way we live our lives. In turning from sin we are given strength to life a changed life.
