Don't Be Like A Horse!

SCRIPTURE
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.  When I kept silent my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.  For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me.  My strength was sapped as the heat of summer.  Psalm 32

OBSERVATION
David fell in with Bathsheba.  However, the enemy uses much less subtle forms of sin on Christians in our day to day lives to grieve the Holy spirit in us.  

APPLICATION
It's crazy to look back at different times of my life and track the times I was at the brink of burn-out.  During those times, the enemy works at changing kingdom priorities with man's inner desire priorities and before you know it you're burned out laboring for earthly things.  Big sin and small sin saps us and separates us from God and until I repented I would see finances, resources and lost time add up.

PRAYER
Don't be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding, but must be controlled by bit and bridle (Psalm 32).  I confess my transgressions to You, Lord, as David did, and You forgave the guilt of my sin.
