Yesterday in church our Pastor touched on several key topics that we as Christians not only should do but we are called to do according to the word of God. One subject he touched on was that we need to “look in the mirror”
"Well, suppose you did not use the mirror for a week, could you be sure that your personal appearance would be such as you would like your friends to see". Oh, I wouldn’t be too sure about that,
I don’t think that there is one of us who would not get up in the morning and look in the mirror without doing something about our appearance. Nor should we hear the word of God without acting on it. The Bible shows us what we are without all our presence and make up. The Bible clearly shows us were and what we are when not properly girded up in the word,
John Wesley wrote in his journal of June 22nd 1739. "After a Preaching engagement—one dropped before me as dead, presently another, soon there were five others, all of whom were in agony of soul having seen themselves in the convicting mirror of God’s Word".
Friends, God’s Word's are the perfect reflector. It reveals the heart & highlights our faults and our failures, and shows us up, but thank God, it also cleans us up. Psalms 119:9 How shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.
