When I am out of Synch (part 23)

 When I am chopped down because of my sin and stubbornness, God will form new shoots within me.(Job 14L7). I am given rest because of His tender shoot, the root of Jesse. (Isaiah11:10) And I will eventually be raised to glory by being pruned and by believing in Him. (Isaiah 4:2)

When I am out of synch (Part 23)

Since not everyone listens to what God says, (Romans 10:16) it is hard for teachers and leaders to train me properly if I am not receptive and hence I am out of synch in learning. In fact I mar the greatest teacher of all. (Isaiah52:14).

When I am out of synch (part 22)

The absence of good is not evil, but sin. The absence of righteousness, that is evil. When we sin or rather when we choose to live in sin and become evil, we choose to make ourselves enemies of God. We have chosen alienation from Him (Colossians 1:20) When we look at the mess we've made of what God gave us, no matter big or small, and admit what we've done and say we are sorry, that's when Christ offers us the opportunity to come to Him. Only in Him is their reconciliation. (Romans 5:11) And it doesn't matter what or who we are, If we accept that He is our Lord, then we can have that life in Him (Romans 11:15) And once we accept Him, we are reconciled to Him and He no longer counts our sins against us. (2 Corinthians 5:18-19) We are brought to Him, because we have made peace. God nailed our transgressions to the Cross. (Colossians 1:20) And by His death, burial and resurrection we become unified once again with God. (Colossians 1:22, 1 Corinthians 5:10)
