Tues Devo: The Pressure Washer II

Hebrews 4:12-13 “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” (NASB)

Hello,

Last week I talked about the pressure washer and getting cleaner. But it also made me think about we often don’t even know we need cleaning because we are comparing ourselves to other dirty wood – instead of the clean original that we ought to be comparing ourselves against. To get that right comparative, we need to be in His word continually, getting that look at the standard.
Wait, did I say continually? Ouch. But yes! Evaluation against the standard God has put forth is something we must keep on doing. Just one look and then an adjustment doesn’t mean the end is there. We have to keep evaluating as we go.

Some work? Sure, but the rewards to being what God has asked us to be are phenomenal.

Have a blessed day,
