Wash
me clean Lord and help me to see my motives in all I say and do. May
my thoughts and actions come from you and not from any legalism or
idea that I may have gathered along the way. For sometimes our
concept of how to get your attention may not be what you want to hear
at all. It is not necessarily the one that sings the best or has the
best testimony of deliverance, for those things can make us feel good
in our own eyes and distract us from what you're really looking for
in us.
A
man watches us and judges us by what he sees and hears, but You Lord,
You judge our motives. Lord, it is not always in our accomplishments
that we get your attention but in our weakness, in our deficiencies.
It is in that time of facing a defeat that we cry out for your mercy
and standing all alone we become very real with YOU. We need you to
be very firm with us because our days are running out and we are
coming to the DAY when we will stand before you the Righteous Judge
and hear you call our Name. Our deeds will be judged righteous or
wicked. I want to be clean and acceptable in your eyes, Lord because
we cannot hide under a cloak of pretense. It will not matter what we
or anyone thinks of us but what you know about us. I want to be real
with you Lord...never fake or phony...but genuine and pure...Amen.
