Perfection in imperfection

Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24 (NKJV)


As I live everyday to your glory, I subject myself to the scrutiny of the Holy Spirit to guide and guard my thoughts, steps and every move lest I stray unknowingly in self-righteousness and grieve the Holy Spirit in the process. There are legitimate concerns in today's world, valid issues requiring our attention, important agendas and kingdom principles that we as saints must stand up for, protect, defend and guard, but in our passion and haste we can act and get ahead of the spirit of God making matters worse off than initially.

A soul searching and cleansing prayer is perfectly in order. As the Lord knows our frame, straightened, and sustained by His grace and the cleansing power of His blood. He makes perfection come forth in an imperfect vessel. The Lord, our strength, continue to lead us in the way everlasting, Amen.

Be encouraged,

Afolabi
