Isaiah 6:5 “Woe is me! For I am undone;
because I am a man of unclean lips.”
Do I truly listen to God in areas of my
life that are difficult for me to change or amend? I do have areas of sin
that God is convicting me about, but how much do I lean into Him for a renewing
of my mind? Chambers writes, “God begins by convicting us of the one thing
fixed on in the mind that is prompted by the Holy Spirit; if we will yield to
His conviction on that point, He will lead us down to the great disposition of
sin underneath.” This is such a true statement. I know in my life, the Holy Spirit
keeps tapping me in an area until I finally yield. Usually this communication
is strongest when I lay in bed at night going over the events of the day. If
there is an area that needs addressing, it will come into clear focus night
after night. It happens during the day too, but distractions always blur that
needed focus.
I have been struggling, during this time of
Covid, with several things that need action to be taken on my part, yet the current
rut I am in has given me excuse after excuse to put certain things off. Does
this mean the Holy Spirit has stopped prodding me? Certainly not. These nighttime
challenges just keep increasing. When will I ever learn that I am not in
control? I must be fully abandoned to Jesus in every area of my life, no matter
how much of a struggle it is for me. I know that, when I truly yield these
areas of my life to Him and release them, He will guide me through to the other
side. So, the time to start is always now.
