Caught with your hand in the cookie jar?

James 4:7-8


I remember growing up going to my grandma' house and how I always looked forward to getting into the cookie jar. The rule was at grandma's house was that you had to wait untill after dinner to grab cookies out of the cookie jar. My goal was to always see how many cookies I could get out of the jar before getting ran out of the kitchen by grandma for breaking the rules. I think a lot of the time we live our lives the same way in our relationship with God.
Ask yourself this question. Do I tend to try and push the limits on boundaries I know I shouldn’t cross in my life? Do I try to get away with as much as I can and still be looked at as a Christian person. In other words do I try and push the limit with sin and see how far I can get in to it before I actually fall face down into it. God’s grace is endless for us, but for us to live trying to get away with as much as we can is not what God calls for us to do. God tells us to resist the devil. In other words run from him and turn to God and satin will flee from you. So what do you think…. Are you resisting the sin in your life or are you trying to see how much you can actually get away with….. Cause God calls us to come near to Him.
