Meditate On
let us go right into the presence of God with sincere
hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with
Christ’s blood to make us clean...
Hebrews 10:22, NLT
Get Rid
Of The Pebble In Your Shoe
Have you ever walked around with a pebble in your shoe?
Even though it’s just a tiny little stone, it affects your ability to keep
walking, doesn’t it? Just imagine shopping or sightseeing with a pebble in your
shoe. You’re not going to have much fun!
Having sin on your conscience is like having a pebble in
your shoe. You can’t really go far in your walk with God. Like the pebble in
your shoe, it’ll cause you to stumble and slow you down. Sin constantly
pricking your conscience is like the sound of dripping water in the still of
the night—it prevents you from getting any rest!
My friend, the only way to find rest for your conscience
is to point it to the cross of Jesus. There, every sin that you have and will
ever commit was punished in the body of your substitute, Jesus. Because of His
sacrifice, all your sins have been forgiven and washed away by His cleansing
blood.
Today, you can approach God with boldness and faith
because your conscience has been cleansed by Jesus’ blood. The more you believe
this truth, the more you’ll walk with a conscience free of the pebbles of sin,
and the further you’ll go in your walk with God!
