Listening to a podcast from Timberline Church in the US this morning and there was a good example presented which I could relate to.
Every now and then we make our way down to the doctors for a medical examination, and the first thing that happens is that we are weighed and our pulse and blood pressure taken. There might follow an ECG and almost certainly blood tests for cholesterol, liver and kidney function and so on - to give the doctor a picture of our current state of health. The doctor is looking at our vital signs and various indicators that might point to potential problems either in the near or more distant future.
Would we all benefit from a spiritual medical now and then? To check what our state of spiritual health is, whether the vital signs of our faith are still good - or if there are potential threats that need addressing?
If we do, then we need turn no further than our heavenly Father who is very good at examining the heart and mind!
It's a thought, anyhow!
Test me, O LORD, and try me,
examine my heart and my mind (Psalm 26:2)
