Acts 24:16 “A conscience void of offence
toward God, and toward men.”
Conscience – noun
an
inner feeling or voice viewed as acting like a guide to the rightness or
wrongness of one’s behavior Oxford Dictionary
How is my conscience? Is there anything I
am feeling guilty about? Am I walking in the will of God and following His
commands? Is my spirit so aligned with His that my conscience recognizes when I
am out of step with Him? Is it true for me that when I am in step, it is as comfortable
and natural as a breath or a heartbeat?
In order to have the sensitivity of conscience
that I need as a believer, I must focus on God and be obedient to Him above all
else. No matter how the things of this world pull on me, if I am focused on my
relationship with God, I will not be thrown about in a storm; the Captain will keep me on course, and my rudder will
bring me to shore. The only survival tool of life is to be
rightly related and focused on God always. It takes trust and faith in my Almighty Father who will never leave or forsake me. When I live in His grace,
my conscience will be light and lifted by His Holy Spirit. I will turn my
ears and my heart towards my God and not the din of this world, for He alone will
make my path straight.
“If I am in the habit of steadily facing
myself with God, my conscience will always introduce God’s perfect law, and
indicate what I should do. The point is, will I obey?” ~ Oswald Chambers
