Walking   with   God through   Difficult   Days

I´m Not Fond of Mirrors

3/27/2020

0 Comments

 
I´ve never spent much time in front of the mirror because I´ve never been crazy about what I see.  That has become more and more true as I age. I don´t think this is a problem because I don´t need a mirror to fix my hair!

However, we all need a spiritual mirror.  We all often need to see our inward selves, truly understanding how and what we are.  The Scriptures will do that for us if we give them opportunity. The key word in that sentence is IF.

There is no question that God encourages such self-examination.

Psalm 139:23-24  Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
1 Corinthians 11:31-32  For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
  • One of the great enemies of self-examination is busyness.  With our normal schedules, who takes time for contemplation?
  • Calamity stops us in our tracks and provides us with an opportunity for personal soul searching.
In this blog, we have been exploring the reasons the Sovereign God who loves us would allow the calamity of the Covid-19 to bring the tragedy of death and loss to some, financial strain to others, and major inconvenience to all.
​

Giving us major opportunity to pause and ask the Holy Spirit to lead us in a thorough inward search might just be one of the reasons God is allowing this in our lives.
Let´s not miss the opportunity!
