James 4:17

Today I had to stop and think... and it kind of caught me off guard. Most of the time I get myself into trouble by reacting, not for the lack of action. Most of the time I catch myself in sin because of my reaction to something as opposed to not acting on a push by the Spirit. I have felt the conviction before of not having done something that I maybe should have done. I have felt the pain in choosing to do one thing even though I knew something else was a better decision... even though I knew the other decision was the right choice, I chose not to follow up on it. The conviction and pain was sin. I have never thought of it as so, but that is what it is; a lack of compliance to God's plan or what He is telling me to do. It is sin I feel when I ignore the Holy Spirit's call towards one choice or another... either I do not do it or I choose to do something else. It is sin to ignore God's call... to choose to not do whatever it is God has, is, or will call me to do.

"Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it."
