Devotional 11-2-12

A Spiritual MRI

We can’t live with foreign objects buried in our bodies, or our
souls!

What would an X-ray of your interior reveal?

A remorse over a poor choice? A shame about the marriage that didn’t work or the temptation you didn’t resist? The guilty lies hidden beneath the surface, festering, irritating, and sometimes so deeply embedded you don’t know the cause.

And you can be touchy, you know, understandable, since you have a shank of shame lodged in your soul, Interested in an Extraction?

Confess! and Request! a spiritual MRI. Like the one in Psalm 139:23-24: Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Confessors find a Freedom that Deniers don’t. If we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins! He will cleanse us; Not might, could, would, or should. He WILL!

Prayer:
Oh God, look deep into my heart and find out everything I am thinking. Don’t let me follow evil ways, but lead me in the way that time has proven true. In Jesus name, Amen.

In Love and Grace;
Jim Perry
