1 John 2:4, 1:6. Many of us make claims that we know are false. Maybe we do that to try and fit in with people. Maybe we do it so others like us. I don’t know why we make false claims about ourselves, but one thing I do know: those false claims make us a liar.

1 John 1:8-10. When it comes to sin, we are doing 1 of three things. We are either deceiving ourselves into believing we have no sin, or calling God a liar because we don’t admit our sin, or confessing those sins and getting forgiveness and new life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Where are you?

1 John 1:5-7. There is no sin in God, that is why you and I need to be sin free to come to God. Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? It’s the only way to get sin free.

First Corinthians 10:1-5, Numbers 11:1-6, Philippians 3:13-14. Let the past be past. Your past is not going to help you get to your future. For Israel, as they were marching through the wilderness heading to their promised land, they could not let go of the good things of the past. They wanted the past more than they wanted the future. They all had seen the mighty hand of God at work to get them to where they were, but they didn’t trust that mighty hand to get them where they were going. Do you trust the mighty hand of God for your future, or are you going to cling to the good things of the past?
