Praise God for the Conviction
A holy conviction is a work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts — to correct us when we sin and to keep us on track. If we are no longer convicted for doing something wrong, we must be alarmed. It must be that our spiritual ears have become deaf to the voice of the Holy Spirit. If we have no remorse for our sin, we are in danger of having a seared conscience.
David wrote about how he was convicted by God,
When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD” — and you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Psalm 32:3–5)
God does the same to us today. So if we are convicted by God, let us not be angry at Him. Instead, let us praise Him for He is giving us a chance to repent. That conviction is His way of saving us because He loves us.
So praise God for convicting you — for not letting you be at peace with your sin. Praise Him…
