Lord Jesus, as I sit in the church service today, I look for your presence. As I
stand and sat through songs that were sung out of tune or were inappropriate
choices, I listened for your music. I want to dance, to follow your lead as you
are Lord of the dance. My foot moved but no rhythm appeared. Lord, I sat
attentive during the sermon to listen to your words. However, what I hear are
words of men, doing a marketing sales pitch. They sound so enthusiastic and
convincing. Why, O Lord, is my heart not stirred?
Is it because my heart has been hardened by layers of unconfessed sins? Is it
because I love you less? Is it because I cannot hear your voice? Is that why I
cannot hear your Clarion call to serve in a new land? Search me, O Lord, and
know my heart. Seek if there is any evil ways in me and led me to the way
everlasting.
Amen
