So I wake up today, drive to school, sit down at the computer, then suddenly i realize that i feel kind of sick. Brandon was sitting next to me and we were talking about our final, then out of nowhere i felt the urge that i had to throw up. Two seconds later I looked at Brandon and said “I’m going to throw up” lol…so i rushed to the bathroom and you know the rest. It was not a fun experience to say the least. I rushed home feeling awful and decided that I was going to sit in the shower. While i was sitting in the shower, feeling like death, I started to pray. Normally when I’m sick I pray that God would help me to feel better, but this time my prayer was that God would reveal something to me. So as the water was pouring on my head i realized sometimes our sin is like the flu. Not only did I feel like i needed to take a shower and get all of that nasty flu feeling off of me but also I knew that if i threw up and got the gunk out of me I would feel better as well. I felt as if God was saying “you need to daily examine yourself and make sure you are gunk free”. God wants us to be Holy on the inside and out. We can appear to be living this perfect life from the outside but if God isn’t ruling our hearts on the inside the we are just full of gunk. I think as Christians it gets easy to be so caught up in life, school, and even going to church that we don’t take the time to sit in silence before the Lord and ask Him to reveal things to us. I know that I am guilty of it. So my goal is to take the time every day to just examine myself and make sure that my heart is seeking the Lord and that I’m asking Him to help me rid myself of all the gunk that life can bring.
1Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
