Greetings in Christ Jesus, Fellow Soldiers.
We often don't know we have a blindspot until someone crashes into it. That person might say something that triggers various unresolved sin issues--anger, insecurity, anxiety--and then catch our wrath. That person might even point out that something about us is off because our reaction is disproportionate. But we often dismiss what they say because we don't see that issue for ourselves.
Whenever we experience an ungodly thought or feeling, we have an opportunity to dissect why exactly it is that we think or feel that way. We can pray with the Psalmist in Psalm 139 "See if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the everlasting way."
Praise be to God, our every trespass is nailed to the cross of Christ, including the sinful thoughts and feelings that are unexposed to us. They are known to God and forgiven in Christ. Let us pray, "Lord, where is my blindspot?" and seek to live more wholeheartedly in His service, by His grace alone.
