WHY OUR ARROW ISN'T GOING TO HIT THE TARGET

 
 
Hosea 7:16
 
 
 
"They return, but not upward; they are like a treacherous bow . . . . ." ESV
 
 
 
If we went out to an archery range to target practice and you had a perfectly straight and precise bow and I had a bow that was even slightly out of line, a bit bent, who do you think is going to hit the target? Why would we think that we should be seeing the fruits of our labors or getting our prayers answered when our spiritual lives are not aligned with Christ and have spots of the old self still clinging.
 
 
Heavenly Father, forgive us for trying to live the life You desire without fully giving ourselves over to You. We still have parts of the old self causing us to be out of line and staying off course. Help us to see what we need to correct and give us the courage to straighten up, so that we will be on course with You. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
