The desire I have to live consciously aware of God’s presence exposes habits in my life which I used to view as trivial. They aren’t major obstacles that I would, under my former way of living, consider to be destructive.
Nonetheless, they are disconcerting because they originate from the depth of my old nature that wants to go its own way. The evidence of the way I rationalize and reason in an attempt to justify my actions is all the proof I need for the Holy Spirit to convict me of my sin.
I thank God for revealing to me that I am not as passionate about living in the awareness of His presence as I had previously thought I was.
I pray for God’s help in letting go of these petty thieves.
