Cycle of Sin

Scripture: Lamentations 1:3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.

Observation: All through the old testament the same cycle is repeated: God blesses, people sin, consequences ensure, people eventually repent, God Redeems.

Application: Do we not also see the same cycle in our own life? Through Jesus Christ the cycle can be broken. The power of sin has been broken, and if we turn from being lead by our our flesh to being led by our spirit, we have the power to overcome.

Prayer: May the power of Jesus Christ rule in my life. May I be lead by the Holy Spirit and not by my flesh, through the power of the name of Jesus Christ.
