Your Favorite Sin

The beginning a new year is always a good time to reflect upon all the blessings that we had over the past year and to look forward to what's to come. Most of us find ourselves making a new year resolution. This typically leads to giving up something for the betterment of our physical, mental or spiritual health.

If you are contemplating the idea of a "resolution", then consider your favorite sin. Everyone has one. It's that one sin that we keep repeating over and over again. It's that one sin that if we were to go to confession or ask for forgiveness on a weekly basis, it would be on our list every single time.

Of course, I'm being facetious when I say "Favorite Sin". It's more like least favorite (being the repeat offender that it is). Mine is selfishness...and I struggle with it daily.

So, I challenge you to work from "the top down" to reduce and eventually eliminate your favorite sin this year. Put it in your cross hairs, make it a priority and by God's grace all the other loose ends in your life will start to fall into place as well.

¹⁵ This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all.

¹⁶ But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life.

1 Timothy 15-16

Happy New Year.

God bless you. And this is for His Glory!
