Unseen Lurking!
"Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults."
Psalm 19: 12
A woman in Texas stood up and decorated
her Christmas tree. Shortly after, she heard
noise in the branches. Some kind of animal
was hiding.
Cladding herself in thick gloves, the woman
reached in and pulled out an opossum. It is
hard to know who was more shocked,
but
the creature was soon out of the house!
The Bible compares us to trees (Psalm 92:12).
Make sure no unwanted sins are lurking about
in branches. As our Adam-like nature is riddled
with sin, some of it is undetected. Psalm
19:12
gives us an important prayer:
“Cleanse me from secret faults.”
As we
acquire the truth about God through
our study of the Scriptures, it causes us to
become transparent. Grow to be people of
integrity. When we give the devil a foothold
in our life, we give him the opportunity
to gain influence.
Ask God to reveal to you any hidden sins
that may be in your heart so you can ask
forgiveness and continue to walk in truth.
"Search Thou my thoughts whose springs
Thine eyes can see; from secret faults,
O
Savior, cleanse Thou me."
Fanny Crosby
