       I know there are some of you who have been listening to what I have been saying, and you’re a Christian, but you are not totally committed to God. There are things in your life that you are keeping from God, and there are things you are not allowing him to have. This problem, or problems, in your life is robbing you of your joy in Jesus. You can’t have joy because you are keeping around a secret sin, or you don’t have joy because you are not letting God take control of a certain area of your life. You may be afraid to let God have control. But we, as Christians, have accepted Jesus as both Savior and Lord. We accepted him as Savior, and have confessed our sins to him, and should be continuing to confess our sins to him. There is no room in the Christian life to willingly harbor a sin, or sins, whether in secret or not. We also accepted Jesus as Lord, meaning we surrendered our lives over to him, so that he would be in control of are lives. Perhaps you have a big decision coming up in your life, and you’re not letting God have his say in what you are going to go. That’s very unwise. Remember, God has your best interests in mind; he is on your side. Give the situation over to him, and watch and see what he does. He will lead you down the right path.
