October 25, 2025 – When God’s Hand is Heavy
Sermon: 1978 The High Cost of Low Living, Part 2
Pray Over This
“Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
Ponder This
Some people believe, “If we sin, God just tosses us away.” They’ve got it absolutely wrong. God doesn’t toss you away if you’re His child. When you sin, God puts His hand on you and squeezes. David said, “Your hand was heavy upon me.” In Psalm 51, David spoke of his bones being broken. He was speaking poetically. If God has words of rebuke, if God has arrows of conviction, if God has a hand of pressure on you, respond with “Thank God. He loves me too much to let me go on this way.”
The most miserable man in the world is not an unsaved man. The most miserable man in the world is a child of God out of fellowship with God. If you’re a child of God and you’re living in sin, God’s not going to let you go. You’re not going to get away with it.
David’s sin wearied him. The thing David had done in his heart continued to weary him in his mind. He couldn’t sleep. A clear conscience is better than any sleeping pill. Unresolved guilt will sap the strength out of your life, strength that ought to be given to productive purposes. But God uses these moments to draw us back to Him.
- When have you been weary from sin? How did you respond?
- Do you regularly make space to listen for God’s conviction? How could you make this space?
Practice This
Consider the areas of life where you need to repent. Pray and invite God into the areas you have sought to close off to Him.
