Make Every Effort to be Found Spotless, Blameless and at Peace With Him

2 Peter 3:14 “So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with Him.”

            Oh Sweet Lord, I do want to lead a spotless, blameless and peaceful life with You!
Thank You for my doctor’s appointment running late yesterday so I could hear Adrian Rogers on the radio.  He was talking bout David and his sin with Bathsheba.  He said the reason David , that great warrior and man of God sinned was because of three things:

·         An undiscovered weakness

·         An unexpected opportunity

·         An unguarded life

He spoke to us who have walked with You for years, just like David, and might be thinking that we will never fall.

            O Lord, I beg of You, please show me any undiscovered weaknesses in my life so when that unexpected opportunity arises I will not be unguarded.  If David could have this happen in his life and cause him so much grief and pain…certainly I am not above it either!  As he led a public life as a leader, so, in some ways, I do too in my job and even with the blog You have prompted me to share.  I know that opens me up for demonic opposition and without constant watchfulness and the Holy Spirit’s prompting and power I could fall at any time.

            I do not want to have a long list of unconfessed sin separating me from You when You come for me to take me home either in death or Rapture.  I long to live an empowered life for Your glory, not mine.    I live in perilous times and temptations are everywhere.  Lord, keep me from pride and remind me that anything You do through me is because of You, not me as I have been crucified with You and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, so I give You the glory for all.

I love You, Lord!
