"Sin, Iniquity, Wickedness"
“Sin, Iniquity, Wickedness”
Blessings folk!
The Psalmist cried to the Lord.
He desired to see the salvation of the Lord.
He wanted to see the prosperity of the chosen.
He wanted to rejoice in the gladness of the Lord's nation.
He wanted glory in the inheritance of the Lord.
Now, read the very next statement…
Psa 106:6
We have sinned like our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.
The Psalmist joins with Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah (all in chapter nine of their respective books) in declaring a needed proclamation of truth.
“We have sinned like our fathers…”
They do not point the finger at “their people/nation” and declare “sinner!”
They realize that they were a part.
Such are we.
We have sinned.
We have committed iniquity.
We have behaved wickedly.
“But”, it will be said, “I have never done such”.
True, perhaps we have not committed a particular sin.
But, have we remained silent.
Silent, as millions have been aborted.
Silent, as false gospels and deceitful doctrines of demons are proclaimed from pulpits as “truth".
Silent, as man descends deeper and deeper in the abyss of the sin of the last days.
May we repent of our sin, iniquity and wickedness.
May we allow the power of the Lord to flow through us.
