OH, TO BE PERFECT!

OH, TO BE PERFECT!

I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands. —Psalm 119:176

            Have you strayed?  Are you straying?  Oh, our Lord seeks us to restore us.  We are still His servants, we just need to get back on track.  We have not forgotten His commands; we just need to be obedient to them.  Indeed, “Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.  Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression” (Psalm 19:12).

            Watch out, if, as a follower of Jesus, you think you are not in need of a doctor— “Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matthew 9:12-13).  We need our Great Physician to continue to heal us.  We will not be totally healed until we get to glory.  He is now transforming us into His image (II Corinthians 3:18).

            Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were perfect now in our thinking, in our words, in our actions, in our health and that sin had no effect on us in these areas?  Oh, how I long for glory where sin, sorrow and all that is negative will never be known.  Yes, I do long for that day.  We will be there where He is soon! https://youtu.be/bo9ZWX1lEKI?t=1013
