SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16
“I
the Lord search the heart.” Jer 17:10 NIV
A
SPIRITUAL CHECKUP (2)
How do you measure up when it comes to: (1)Obedience. “Obey those who rule over
you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must
give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be
unprofitable before you” (Heb 13:17 NKJV). Do you consistently obey the things
you know God wants you to do? Do you submit to the guidance of those God’s
placed over you? Do you pray for them and thank God for the deposits they make
into your life? (2) A pure heart. “If
we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we
confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins specifically
and by name. Do you purpose to forsake your sin the moment God reveals it to
you? What about your unsurrendered areas? Are you willing to give up all sin
for God? (3) A clear conscience. “I…strive
to have a conscience without offence toward God and men”(Ac 24:16 NKJV). Do you
seek forgiveness from those you’ve offended? Is your conscience clear with God
and man? (4) Confidence before God. “If
our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we
ask we receive from him because we keep His commandments and do those things
that are pleasing in His sight” (1 Jn 3:21-22 NKJV). Have you moved beyond
merely right or wrong.” And asked yourself, “How will this affect my confidence
before God?”
