Discipline Takes Practice. Keep Going.

Let’s think about our most vexing fault and today – with God’s help – avoid it.  And then, try it again tomorrow too.

Ezekiel 18:21-28

 Thus says the Lord GOD:
If the wicked man turns away from all the sins he committed, 
if he keeps all my statutes and does what is right and just,
he shall surely live, he shall not die. 

God really does want to save us. He knows that we can be bad. Some of us more than others.  Maybe a few (hopefully) deserve to actually be called “wicked.” I’ll leave that designation to God, but God even wants those designated as wicked to turn and he’ll forgive them.  I’m sure he will forgive my sins – if I turn and ask, but sometimes I’m stubborn and don’t want to admit I need God’s mercy.  Lent is a good time to discipline myself and remember.
