Jeremiah 5:25,
"Your wrongdoing has turned these blessings away. Your sin has robbed you of good."
Think
Delayed repentance of sin blocks the blessings that God wants to pour out upon our lives. Because, in order to step into God's blessed place, we must make a faith decision to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior! It's the absolute greatest decision we can ever make, because God not only wants to bless us with heaven, he wants to bless us here on Earth! Becoming entangled in sin causes us to slowly turn our back on God, and eventually leads to a hardened and unrepentant heart. Today's verse tells us that when we continue to live in sin we are robbing ourselves of God's best. Yet when we turn from our sin and towards him, he promises us a life full of joy and adventure - but we first have to seek and submit to his plan and purpose and not our own. Here are some blessings that come alongside a life of repentance... 1-Clear Conscience · Romans 8:1 2-Purpose · Romans 8:28 3-Power And Strength · Philippians 4:13 4-Life And Peace · Romans 8:6 5-Help With Weakness · Romans 8:26 6-Confidence · Romans 8:31 7-Fulfillment · Philippians 4:19 8-Security · Romans 8:39 9-Freedom · John 8:32,36
