S) "1 Woe to those who scheme iniquity,
Who work out evil on their beds!
When morning comes, they do it,
For it is in the power of their hands."
Micah 2:1 (NASB)
*because there are already entries for each of these chapters, I also read Micah 2

O) This verse seems to affirm three critical elements of sins. First, it brings destruction. Second, it escalates, because if we dwell on sinning mentally, it's only a matter of time before we are sinning physically. This is really because, as Jesus clarified, sinning in our hearts is, in fact, still sinning). Last, this verse confirms that our sins are our own. We have the power to sin. This is what was purchased with Adam and Eve biting that fruit. We have the capacity to sin, and that is indeed by free will.
A) The remedy to these three warnings, comes from walking in the Spirit. When I am walking in the spirit, I am walking in life. When I am walking in the Spirit, my mind is being renewed and my heart is being healed. Lastly, when I am walking in the Spirit, He is changing my very will, to conform with His will.
P) Father, Your standard is perfection, and I know that I am woefully short of that. But, in the Holy Spirit, I am strengthened. In Christ, all things are possible for me. I want to honor You, and I also want to avoid destruction. In You, both things happen. Still, I confess that there are still those times, when I am foolishly, arrogantly, selfishly planning evil in my heart. Forgive me for that, Lord. Heal me of those self-inflicted, sin-borne wounds. Be glorified, as I continue to lean on the Holy Spirit to walk in righteousness. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
