Tears of disobedience

Everytime we sin against God we feel guilty and embarrassed most specially when we know that what we did is detestable to Him. Anyone who knows the good he ought to do, doesn't do it sins (James 4:17). We know that it is good to pray, read the Bible, be slow to anger, being generous and not greedy, doesn't hold on to money, being at peace with everyone, does not utter malicious speech but doesn't do it sins. 

As a person who knows well the word of God and His laws but still guilty of breaking them is a shame. That's why David said in Psalm 119:136 "Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed". You can't help but cry and ask for forgives to your Heavenly Father for you have sinned against Him. 

It is our obedience that God requires rather than our sacrifices. For obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22). When you receive an instruction from the Lord through His word, do not hesitate but obey! We may have lapses at times in our obedience to God, we may fail Him but He will never ever fail us. 

When you stumble and fall, stand up and shake off the sins that so easily entangles you. With humility and repentant heart approach your Heavenly Father and once again make every effort to obey His commands. Those tears of disobedience will be replaced with unspeakable joy when you obey the Lord.
