God convicted me in a scary, private sort-of way today. Usually I like to blare things I learn on this blog but this might be too private, oh what the heck...
"For the bed is too short to stretch out on, And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it." Isaiah 28:20
I have been laying in a tanning bed in order to get ready for this vacation to Hawaii, right? Well, my toes have burnt a little bit on the bed (I'm too tall), but the tuff part is that the bed is short in the width. Or rather, I'm long in the width. One of the embarassing reasons that I've not been pumped up about this vacation is because of the extra fifty pounds I've gained in the last couple of years. I pray that this will be the year for God's empowerment to radically deal with sin in my life. Maybe instead of laying my butt bare before the fake sun, I need to lay my heart bare before the real Son. Don't be embarassed for me, just pray for me, k? Thanks!
"The pure in heart will see the Lord" (Matthew 5:8).
"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16b).
"A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways" (see James 1:8).
Lord God, I want to 'see' You and I want my prayers to be potent. Amen!
