"Gods Gonna Cut You Down"

The lyrics of Johnny Cash's song, Gods Gonna Cut You Down, go like this:

GODS GONNA CUT YOU DOWN - JOHNNY CASH

This song really hit home for me. "As sure as God made black and white, what's down in the dark will be brought to the light." I know all too well that the when we sin it will come back to you. God will punish you. It is the way things are meant to be. Sin, be punished. Don't sin, be blessed. I have gotten much better in recent years, however I do sin, and I accept full responsibility. The punishment received from God hurts not just mentally, but also physically. The weight of carrying that punishment feels unbearable sometimes, but we have no other option but to endure through it. We must walk through the dark bearing this weight to get back to the light. Someone once said, "God's business is setting things right." This is 100% true in my opinion. He is the only one who can fix our lives, but we must be proactive in this process. He will not fix our problems if we just sit around; He is not here to do things for us, but rather us for Him. In serving Him, He will help us and guide our actions to fix our own lives after sin.
