The Sins Of Others

Therefore, I will mourn and lament. I will walk around barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.
Micah 1:8

 

 

My Takeaways

Something Old

Obedience makes us strong. (2 Chronicles 27:6)

Something New

Guzik says that Micah didn’t point out their sin and yawn…

How do I handle the sin of others?

Do I weep or judge?

He is faithful and just to forgive our sins.

Our wounds are not too deep to be healed. (Micah 1:9)

    • Don’t judge one another. (Luke 6:37)
    • Love one another. (John 13:34)
    • Bear one another’s burdens. (Galatians 6:2)
    • Confess to one another. (James 5:16)
    • Pray for one another. (1 John 5:16)
    • Honor one another. (1 Peter 2:17)

Fast forward to 28 seconds…

Something to Do

Love others through their sin rather than judge.

  1. Oh wow – this lesson really hit home with me today. How do I respond to the sins of others? Honestly? Sometimes I go to judgment first. I often feel like the Pharisee who says “Oh think God I’m not like that tax collector”. But I am usually convicted of this, my own sin, pretty quickly.

    Right now, as some of you on Facebook know from my post, I am struggling with a friend who is in caught up in alcoholism and I have tried to help (sometimes to the point of my own controlling nature coming out) and have determined that she does not really want help so have made the decision to detach. This is love. Bearing her burdens in prayer, and crying out to God to deliver her from this affliction. Thank you to those of you who prayed. I felt your prayers and the peace of making this decision.

    Isaiah 7:13(b) – Thankful that the Lord’s patience is never exhausted with me, even though I give Him many reasons to be exhausted.

    Micah 1:9 – For my people’s wound is too deep to heal. Thank you God, that you are faithful to save and faithful to heal. Guzik: “Our only incurable wounds are the ones we refuse to bring to God. With Him all things are possible, but when we refuse to bring our sin to Him, then our wounds are incurable.” There is a responsibility I have to bring my sins, my honest cries, to the Lord. Only then will He bring healing. This is something I still struggle with – HONESTY with God. Honesty with myself. So I don’t see changes in certain areas of my life. This morning, this verse reached me and I began crying out to the Lord. I want healing of my heart and mind.

    To Do: Howl like a jackal for our loved ones, our world, ourselves.

    Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
