Leviticus 13:40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

Well that is nice to know, but I am not bald. I am not going bald. I am not losing my hair nor am I folicly challenged. I have an inherited hairline. Like so many things in a family, it is inherent to the blood. So many things are inherent. Doctors take a family history for just that reason. Many of my cousins are currently reporting thyroid cancer. Mine was removed seven years ago. It’s inherent.

Guess what else is inherent and impossible to deny or avoid, sin.

Lamentations 5:7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

Not that we have sinned because our fathers sinned but by the law of begetting, we have that same fallen nature.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

There is no escaping it, it is inherent.

BUT, don’t you love when but goes in your favor?

Ephesians 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

We who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have been adopted into the family of saints and as such have a new nature, a new inheritance, a new destiny.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Bought with the blood of the Lamb of God, we now have a new inheritance.

Philippians 2:14a Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

OK, now you’re just being unreasonable.

I opened up my biblegateway bible app and this is the opening line of verse for the day. It pierced my conscience with a deep wound. I was right in the middle of a deep pity party and now its ruined. How can I go on with my whining now in the face of the truth?

God will not ask you to do anything which you are incapable of doing. I might like to face the truth at times, but it is for my own good and the good of my relations with others. But I was so enjoying my moment of good whine. Why did He have to go and ruin it?

Oh, yes, that right, I asked Him to be the Lord of my life. He has the power and authority. I gave myself over to Him, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I should not be amazed that He should choose this moment to exert authority. Amazed perhaps, but not surprised. Amazed because He cares that much.

I do not know what this day will bring. He does. I do not know what my attitude will do towards the day, He does. I have no idea if a blessing or a tribulation will occur today, He does.

Romans 8:28b all things work together for good to them that love God,

Since I believe that by faith, then I should act like it is true and embrace the day knowing that my God loves me enough to say, “Quit your whining and get up.”

OK, OK I’m up.

“Lose the attitude.”

Yes, my Lord.
