I found myself zoomed in this morning on Hebrews 4.13. This is a good verse to memorize.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
God has x-ray vision. He sees what I do, but so does everyone else. God has something like 40/20 vision. His eyes work supernaturally. Not only does He see what I do, He sees who I am. He sees who I am inside. He sees every passing thought even as it races through my mind. He sees every fleeting desire, good and bad, as it passes through my heart. He is aware not only of how I appear, but how I am.
I realized in prayer this morning that I tend to spend alot of my prayer time covering things I am doing for God. I ask often for Him to do things through me. Those prayers are legit, but my activity is not all that God is interested in. He is concerned about who I am becoming in Christ, and what He desires to do within me.
I'm adding two requests to my prayer for today.
Open my eyes. Help me see beyond the physical appearance of things; beyond what I am doing to who I am becoming.
Transform me. I understand your work of transformation is not done in me. Continue changing me today. Don't just fix what I do. Fix who I am. Put your desires in my heart, and your thoughts in my mind.
I don't want to be surprised when it's time to give account and my insides are laid bare. I know God won't be.
