When I think of blind spots, I’m reminded of the medieval nobleman who built a castle that included a beautiful chapel where he often retired for prayer and meditation. Not infrequently, his prayers were interrupted by the screams of his enemies who were being tortured in the dungeon he had constructed directly beneath the chapel. Apparently, he saw nothing incongruent about praying while his enemies were being tortured and put to death. Which just goes to show that we all have blind spots – inconsistencies that are readily apparent to others, but that escape our notice.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart;…
— Psalms 139:23, 24
See if there is any offensive way in me.”
Lord Jesus, reveal our blind spots and inconsistencies that we may confess them and receive forgiveness. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
