Our sins come from our thoughts, ( Romans 12;2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.) Worldly desire and our thoughts are what cause us to sin; if we keep our minds in the Word, it will help us control our thoughts. Because if we do not study the Word daily, the world will control our thoughts; but when we study the Holy Spirit controls our thoughts. Our sinful nature has a mind and a will of its own; the Word helps give our live guidance, to God’s will, because when we’re not in the Word, we’re in the flesh, and the flesh desires to sin. The Word gives us a craving for what the Spirit needs love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; but the flesh craves for sin, (Mark 7:20-23 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” Sinful thoughts are why we need the Word daily.
Lord, please give us thoughts of the Truth; and not of the world. Father give us a strong desire to study Your Word daily; so we can walk with You in the Spirit, and not in the flesh. Lord, we all are weak; please open our hearts and minds to the things of the Spirit to help us lay our flesh to rest. Father, teach us that the more we study the Word the closer we are to You; and the closer we are to You, the less we sin. Lord, we cannot take this walk without Your daily nourishment; to strengthen us, to protect us, and to keep us in Your will. Father’ we ask for forgiveness of our sins; the past, present, and future, and we thank You for mercy, grace and favor. In Jesus name, Amen
