“Your iniquities have turned these things away, and your sins have withheld good from you.”
When studying the bible, I tend to lean towards the “good” scriptures. You know, those “uplifting, I can face the world tomorrow, good promises of God” scriptures. The ones that remind me I can do all things and that I’m more than a conqueror. The ones that tell me I’m blessed in the city and the field. And I hang my hat on these “good” scriptures. Every so often, I come across ones that make me look in the mirror and say, “You ain’t right, man!” These kind of scriptures remind me that I still have some work to do if I want to experience all of God’s goodness.

Today’s scripture tells us that our iniquities – planned sin or sin we don’t intend to stop doing – will withhold good from us. So, if we continue in our iniquities, we can expect to miss out on some of the good things God wants to give us. If we continue to hold unforgiveness in our hearts, we will miss out on these things. If we continue to not love one as Christ loves us, we will miss out on these things. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to continue to miss out on these things. Join me today in evaluating what’s withholding God’s good and what iniquities are turning these things away. Once identified, get rid of them, make a decision to stop immediately, and line back up with Christ.
Bless me indeed

Heavenly Father, Your word has shown me my wrong. I repent today and choose to no longer practice my iniquities. Cleanse me, Lord, and turn these things toward me and never withhold Your good from me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is my prayer
