Oh To Be Wise Meditations
Thank you Lord for not looking at the outward appearance but the inward appearance of the heart. I look at the mirror many times wondering how you can use such a sinner like me. One day I am faithful and the next day I doubt. One day I am positive and the next I am negative. One day I am of good shape and health. Three months later I am out of control and fat. Jesus I want to be consistent, a rock of faith to build up your church. I want your light in me to shine through my outward appearance. Cover my imperfections, my weaknesses, and my failures. Be the strength of my life and beauty of my soul. I want my motives to be pure so my actions reflect your heart. It's so easy to delight in the strength of the horse; to take pleasure in the legs of a man. I I must trust in the simplicity of the Gospel and the power it has for my life. The Lord favors those who fear Him, those who wait for His lovingkindness. Those who trust in the inward character of God and lean not on the things he has made. Faith in his loving kindness, holding on to the promises of God in Christ. Thank you Lord that you do not judge according to appearance, you would rather judge with righteous judgment. The Cross is the declaration that all are set free. And the empty tomb is the outward appearance proving it is true.
