AGAINST HIM
Today's reading: Psalm 38-42

"O Lord, I prayed, have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you." Psalm 41:4 NLT

There's been a whole lot going on in the media as of late in regards to 'loving your brother'.

I'm not here to settle it all with a short devotion.

Or comment on it from my prayer chair.

I'm not even providing you with an opinion of my own, but providing you with a quote from this week I like, admire and believe to be true--based upon today's verse, not upon the validity and trustworthiness of the one who made the statement.

The words I read were to this effect...

We can make all the reforms we want to make. Change all the laws we want to change. Provide classes, training and symposiums on the fact that all men are the same on the inside. But until the heart is changed by God, everything else is simply cosmetic.

Those words were brought back to my memory when I read today's verse.

It's true.

Until God heals me, and each person seeks His healing of the heart individually, there will be no lasting change on any level in regards to any problem our world faces.

Until I, and every person on earth, comes to the realization that any sin committed is not against the victim, it is against the One True God, we'll never grasp the scope of its stench.

So I'm choosing to spend some time with the One who can heal the sickness of my heart today. I'm much in need of His remedy to my ills.
