BAMBOOZLED

Generally speaking, I am not so easily bamboozled. The great exception to this is my own self-generated excuses to NOT DO something I know I SHOULD DO but don’t want to. Sadly, I often find my internal arguments for non-action sufficient enough to do little or nothing to actually change my mind. Here, I must pause and give thanks to the Spirit of the Living God Who will not let me have my way without a fight. His constant and compelling promptings confront my self-deceptions and provoke me to change my ways. We learn in John 14:26 (ESV): “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you,”. Lord of Truth and Light, I am earnestly listening. Fall afresh upon me and pour your light into every unsurrendered crevasse of my soul. Reverse the work of stubbornness in me and push me forward into those things that please You.
