Read: I John 1:9

If your life has crashed upon the rocks of sin what hope is there for you? What condition is necessary to deal with your sin? You need to talk truth to God about your sin. Don’t try to excuse your sin. Just confess it. And also confess your attitudes that led to sin. Confess your pride, selfishness, anger, or rebellion were part of the problem. What is true when confession is made? Why can we trust in God’s faithfulness? What is true about His forgiveness? It is just because He already paid the price on the cross. Today, thank God for His forgiveness through His shed blood.

Read: Ephesians 4:30

How can a Christ-follower grieve the Holy Spirit? What sort of lifestyle brings sorrow to the Lord? Christian, the Lord owns you. He will restore your broken life if you ask Him to. But it requires repentance, a sorrowful confession of your sin, and then turning away from any sin. If you need help in this, seek it out. Make an appointment with your pastor or a Christian counselor.

Read: 2 Corinthians 11:25

You don’t need to be stranded on a deserted island to be shipwrecked and desolate. What sort of sin can ruin a life? From poor life choices and outright sin, you can be shipwrecked on dry land just as well as in an ocean storm. The Greek word for shipwreck is ‘Enauagesan. This word is compounded from two Greek words naus, “a ship,” andagnumi, a verb which means “to break apart.” What was true of Paul in this passage? Was he the cause of a ruined life? Life storms with strong undercurrents are part of life and will upend your even keel. Realizing that every Christian has to fight for moral high ground pray about your moral compass. Is there anything you need to toss overboard to stay right with the Lord?
