Jeremiah 10:23-24 - Is there some sin in your life that you just can't seem to conquer?

"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing." (KJV)

Is there some sin in your life that you just can't seem to conquer? Those kinds of struggles remind us that "our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course." Too many things control us: our own sin, other people, forces too big for us, such as the weather. We need to acknowledge that we need his help in correcting our sin, but we can depend on God's gentleness. Unlike human parents, this Parent corrects us in gentleness and love, never in anger. Allow him to "correct your course" as you trust his gentleness.
