Day 14 Gods Operating Table #Completemakeover!!! Am I a God near at hand, says the Lord, And not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in the secret places, so I shall not see him? Says the Lord; Do I not fill heaven and earth? Says the Lord. When the Scriptures declare that men always ought to pray and not lose heart (Luke 18:1), they are speaking of living in a state of open communication with God, not necessarily jabbering at Him nonstop. Some of us ramble on for hours on our knees and end up watching the clock, trying to get in a specific amount of prayer time. We are can to live in a state of open-hearted communication with the Lord. Complete exposure before Him brings a sense of vulnerability, yet every one of us desperately needs someone to help us, someone who is able to understand our deepest issues. Since I never think a thought or say a word that God does not hear and know, there is no need for a sanctimonious misrepresentation of who I am. No need for the strain of continual camouflage. I stand naked before Him in the same way a person lies naked on an operating table before the surgeon. The patient is neither boastful nor embarrassed, but understands that her condition is necessary to the relationship. Whatever the doctor finds in her body-either healthy or diseased tissue--is already present, and the patient must rest in the conviction that the doctor possesses, and the skill to perform the proper procedure. Before my heart can be pure, God must flush away the corrosion and corruption that blocks the flow of His Grace and Mercy. God is continually sending a deluge of His cleansing Grace into my heart. But He cant clean or purify what I hide in the secret corners of my heart and mind. I know, that I will never worship God in the beauty of His holiness if I live in the shadows, wrestling with unconfessed sin. Whatever I do, I have to find my place in the presence of the Lord. Because He is always there, waiting to comfort and heal me!!!
