Merge Worship

I'm reading a new devotional called "Solo" by Eugene Peterson. In the first devo (on Gen. 3:1-10) he challenges the reader to confess ways that they've rebelled against God. I began listing my transgressions aloud and then I heard the still, small, overwhelming voice of God in my heart say...

"You're confessing the overt rebellions, what about the ones that fly under the radar? The covert ways you rebel against me. Your refusal to trust. Your refusal to hope. Your willingness to just live and get by. I want all of you. I want you to be ALL MINE."

Boys and girls, the word for today is "conviction". See you on the other side.
