Psalm 51:6 (NASB)
6 Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.When a person is driving a vehicle, there is a spot where if a car is passing the car cannot be seen in the side mirrors. It is called a blind spot. The passing car is not visible to the driver in the other vehicle. In the same way, blind spots can happen to Christians.
The blind spot for a Christian is when sin sneaks into a person's life and they may not be aware of it. Little things can creep into attitudes, actions, or even neglect to act. The Holy Spirit ruthlessly uncovers these sins when we sit before long enough to ask. He desires truth in the innermost part of our being. Not just the surface sins that we quickly remember.
Blind spot sins may show up in little things that we may not even notice. A sour habitual attitude. The words we speak. The way we use time. An apathetic heart. There are numerous other things too long to be listed here. The real questions are do we have any of them, and if we do, what will we do about them? In the parts of our lives where nobody else is able to see but God alone, what is the truth? If we take the extra time to look closely, like a driver turning their head to see if there is a car in the blind spot, we need to look extra closely at any potential blind spot sins hidden. Let repentance begin today.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal if you have any blind spot sins?
- What is the truth in the hidden part of your lives?
- Take some time to earnestly repent of anything that snook into your life?
