When we ask the Lord to search our heart and see if there be any wicked way in us, He does just that. He shows us ourselves as He sees us, as we really are, but He doesn’t stop there. If He did, we would surely despair. Instead, He allows us to see who we can become in Christ and that gives us hope. As His grace does its holy work, we are fashioned into a vessel of honor for His glory.
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
— 2 Corinthians 4:7 (NIV 1984)
Lord, thank you for showing us what we can be in Christ. May that holy image motivate us to live lives worthy of our calling. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
