HOW SAD!

 
Psalm 119:136


"Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed." NIV


"Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law." KJV


Think of how often we shed tears because something we expected did not work out. How many times have we cried because we were hurt or hindered in some way? Of course we cry over things such as this, we are human. But how many times have we cried in deep sorrow at the sin that is rampant around us? Have we ever cried at the ungodliness that looms even in our own homes and our own lives? When our hearts are one with the heart of God, we become deeply saddened by the sin around us. Just as the Lord looks on at the rebellion against mercy and grace with a heavy heart, we too, share in His sorrow.


Heavenly Father, how great is the sin that flourishes all around us all the time! We ask that You check our hearts to see if we have become conditioned to this rampant sin so that we don't even think about it. Give us Your heart so that we will experience Your sorrow at sin and have renewed inspiration to pray for the lost and stand firm against the sin around us. We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
