Salom. Dear listeners, we are Oscar and Glory or Simnza
-
of Harvest Chapel International Dayamico Mercy. It is our privilege
-
this morning to welcome you to today's morning glory devotion.
-
We are your facilitators. Today we bring you part two
-
of our three part series titled Driving with God. Three
-
Mirrors for the Journey. Part two is subtitled beside Mirrors
-
seeing blind spots before they cause a crash. I repeat
-
a side mirrors seeing blind spots before the course I crash. Please,
-
let's commit ourselves to God in prayer. Our dear Lord
-
and Master Christ, Jesus, thank you for the gift of
-
life which you have given us this morning. Thank you,
-
oh God, for bringing us together to learn at your feet.
-
Your word has said that where two or three are
-
got it together in your name, you are there in
-
their midst. Well. Thank you for your word which has
-
brought us light, life and understanding. Let your word bear
-
alarm to our feet and light our path so that
-
we may constantly continue to walk in your way in
-
the mighty name of Jesus, and pray Amen. Our main
-
scripture that's taken from Some one three nine verse twenty three,
-
twenty four, and I read search me, o God, and
-
know my hat, Try me and know my thoughts, and
-
see if there be any grievous way in me, and
-
lead me in the way of lasting Amen. One of
-
the most dangerous places to be in on the road
-
is beside a heavy goods vehicle. That reason is simple.
-
You are in the blind spot of the driver and
-
he cannot see you in his side few mirrors. You
-
could also be driving straight with a motorbike ride beside you.
-
You will not see it if you want to change
-
your lane unless you check your side mirror. If you
-
change lanes without checking the side, you'll crash. We have
-
blind spots in a character too. These are the pride
-
that we don't see, a tone of voice, or our selfishness.
-
And if we don't check these or crash our relationships,
-
our ministry and our peace. God has given us two
-
side mirrors. Mirror number one is his Holy Spirit, who,
-
among other things, is God's internal warning system. This is
-
confirmed in John sixteen thirteen, which reads, when the Spirit
-
of truth comes, it will guide you into all truths.
-
The Holy Spirit is that quiet restraint on you that
-
you feel in your spirit before you send out that
-
hash wars up, before you cut corness at work and
-
gossip about a boss's wife, do you feel a certain
-
pause and a kind of unease within new the one
-
you try to explain away us, Oh, we were just
-
having a conversation, beloved. That's God's side mirror flashing a
-
warning about a danger in your blind spot. Our main
-
scripture Some one three nine, which says again, search me, o, God,
-
and know my heart, Try me and know my thoughts,
-
and see if there be any grievous way in me,
-
and lead me in the way of a lasting was
-
prayed by God's servant, King David. He prayed this from
-
the bottom of his hat because he knew he couldn't
-
see clearly by himself. In like manner, we need the
-
Holy Spirit to scan as daily. We have this privilege
-
of the Holy Spirit scanning as daily and exposing our
-
blind sports to us when we dedicate ourselves to a
-
daily devotional and prayer life. But that's discipline we are
-
driving through life. Blind miror number two is the godly
-
people who function as God's external warning system. Proverbs twenty seven,
-
verse seventeen emphasizes that ion charpains ion, and one man
-
charpaens another. Feather Galicians, chapter six, Verse one says, brothers,
-
if anyone is caught in any transgression, you, who are spiritual,
-
should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Feather James
-
five sixteen admonishes us to confess your sins to one
-
another and pray for one another that you may be healed.
-
God never meant for us to drive along in life's
-
journey without guidance. He puts our pastors, godly spouses, Christian friends,
-
and parents in our life to say, says, I've noticed
-
you are bitter? Can we talk about it? Or? Brother,
-
that decision you've taken is not the best? Can you repent?
-
It's uncomfortable for about thirty seconds? Yes, but it saves
-
us three years of pain. Any driver who says I
-
don't need sight mirrors is arrogant, and likewise the Christian
-
who says I am not accountable is in danger. We
-
need to ask the Holy Spirit to show us the
-
dangers in our blind spots daily and accept godly rebukes
-
and correction in good faith from our Christian family. Humility
-
as a spiritual fruit helps us accept and correct our attitude.
-
May we remain sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit,
-
as he supposes are blind supports to us. Shall we
-
take us our memory Verse Isaac, Chapter thirty, verse twenty one,
-
which reads, and your ears shall hear a word behind
-
you saying this is the way walking it when you
-
turn to the right, or when you turn to the left. Amen, Beloved,
-
Thank you and God bless you for tuning in and
-
joining today's morning Glory devotion. Please continue to remain tuning
-
into Radio ACI, to remain in an atmosphere of worship,
-
and to enjoy a selection of godly music and teachings
-
throughout the day. Join us at the same time tomorrow shalom. Amen.
