DAILY LIGHT, DAILY GROWTH

DAILY LIGHT, DAILY GROWTH

Psalms 19:12 Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret faults.

Hopefully, with growth and age comes maturation and learning. The foolish dreams of childhood give way to more rational thinking; the thoughtless actions of youth are replaced by wiser conduct.

It is a sign of maturation when we can look at our past and see our errors. It is all the more commendable when after erring, we learn from our errors. By contrast, it is woefully pathetic when time and again, we continue erring in the mistakes, not learning the lessons life has in store for us.

The rolling of time is necessary for us to be able to properly reflect on the events of our lives and reap the harvest of wisdom that it has to offer us. On the heat of the moment, when we set ourselves as sole judges of our actions, we are like a blind man leading the blind. We truly don’t understand our errors. What action we think is “right” at the time, could be motivated by a secret fault that we will only understand as an error at a later date, when we harvest the fruits that particular action produced.

Along with the passage of life, daily feeding on the Words of God bring a light to our spirit that shines brighter and brighter every day, so that every time we look at the walls of our soul, we can see new “spots” to clean.

Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
