| Psalms 57:2 – ‘I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose in me.’ |
About a month ago I was reading the Lord’s Prayer and felt led to pray it on a daily basis. As I pray the Lord’s Prayer I really try to concentrate on what it means, while asking God to help me understand its meaning.
Today while I was at work, I felt as if I was suffocating with my mask on. I flipped it off and said “Oh God, I hate these masks!” The problem is that I was not speaking to God, rather I was expressing my frustration. Without delay, as soon as the words left my mouth, the thought entered my mind, “Hallowed be Thy Name!” I instantly told the Lord I was sorry for not keeping His name Holy. It was as if I were having a conversation with the Holy Spirit in that His reply was immediate to my exclamation. I was instantly convicted of using His name in vain.
One thing I find fascinating and comforting about that speedy reply, is that I know the Holy Spirit is living within me and knows every step I take. He has a plan and is working within me to fulfill His purpose. I am so thankful that the Lord forgives me of all my sins as He is working His purpose in me
