Confession is good for the soul...

...But it makes the devil go nutz!

SW is on MC today and so I drove Nicole to RGPS this morning. On my way back I was listening to this old Praise and Worship CD Army of God and the song that was spinning on the PIE while traveling back was Don Moen's All We Like Sheep. I knew the Lord was convicting me of something. I know I've been reading a lot in my quest to know more of God; I've been talking about my beliefs and convictions, but I closed my communications with Him. It's not that I neglected to pray, but I didn't pray enough. It's the usual case of slacking too much on my free day. The fact that I missed 3 consecutive services made me missed my friends and corperate worship so much. Coupled with my lack of self-discipline and my lack of personal worship to God, I felt that I was serving from an empty cup. I didn't know the extent of my misery until I sang along to this song in the car. I played it twice and each time I sang it, I wept tears of regret and tears of joy. It all streamed into one. I almost wanted to pull over to the side of the road to pray, but the PIE was too busy.

What a way to be reminded of God's mercy and grace towards me.
What a way to fan revival's fire in me.
Good morning world
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!

All we like sheep have gone astray
Each of us turning our own separate ways
We have all sinned and fallen short of your glory
But your glory is what we desire be
And in Your presence is where we long to be
O Lord, show us You mercy and grace
Take us to Your holy place
Forgive our sins and heal our land
We long to live in Your presence once again

Taking our sickness
Taking our pain
Jesus the sacrifice lamb has been slain
He was despised, rejected by men
He took our sin
Draw us near to You Father
Through Jesus Your son
Let us worship before You
Cleasnsed by Your bood
O Lord, show us You mercy and grace
Take us to Your holy place
Forgive our sins and heal our land
We long to live in Your presence once again
