AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS!

IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES , AND PRAY, ANS SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. -2 Chronicles 7:14

"AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS"

Unfortunately, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so I have become very dependent on Dictionary.com.  I decided to look up the word "Wicked" this morning.  It read "Wicked-evil or morally bad in principle or practice; SINFUL; iniquitous: wicked people; wicked habits."

Why do we try to sugar coat what GOD is telling us?  Sometimes we even try to make the MESSAGE less offensive to make GOD seem less judgmental!  The message is clear!   As a people, we have become so "WICKED" that we don't even recognize SIN anymore.  

GOD is PURE!  HE does not change.  James 1:17 says there is NO "shadow of turning" with HIM!  HIS commandments have not evolved into suggestions!  Just because "we" have a want or desire does not cause a HOLY GOD to relax HIS WORD. 

The BIBLE declares that we must "TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS"!   My sin is just as bad as a death row inmate.  I MUST PURIFY MYSELF DAILY!!
