37 Psalm 18:25-27 Great Mirror
JMD Devotional 37 Psalm 18:25-27 Great Mirror
With the kind and merciful You will show Yourself kind and merciful, with an upright man You will show Yourself upright, with the pure You will show Yourself pure, and with the perverse You will show Yourself contrary. For You deliver an afflicted and humble people but will bring down those with haughty looks.
God expresses Himself as a mirror, camouflaged in reality, always teaching and correcting. He reflects our actions to judge or bless ourselves in perfect righteousness.
Dear God,
I always want You to make an exception for me and my sins, but that is really asking You to be unjust. Help me to crave righteousness for its own sake, and to honor your holiness. Chastise me when I stray, give me the correction I need. Help this little mind to know that the hand that corrects me is connected to a heart that is passionate for my redemption and success. Cultivate moral purity and the highest ethical standards in my life for your glory and pleasure.
Amen
