Gray Hairs

The lost of spiritual power is never instantaneous--it's gradual. Hosea says it's like one's hair turning gray--strand by strand; almost imperceptible. Where does it begin? The decline starts when I convince myself that God is indifferent to my sin--that a holy God is unconcerned with my sin. Such thinking makes a mockery of grace. Grace is the catalyst for holiness, for righteous living. It is never an excuse for sin. To think otherwise is to demean the price our Savior paid on the cross to lavish us with His grace. The cure? Confession. Any day without the prayers of confession is a day when I start to turn spiritually gray.
