Tarnished Scrutiny

1 Cor 2:10b

For the Spirit scrutinizes everything, even the depths of God

God gave us the gift of the Spirit. It is in our conscious that the Spirit tells us what is right and wrong. God gives this gift to everyone, even those who don't believe it is a gift from God.

People don't like being scrutinized . They don't like to be corrected. They don't like being told they are acting wrong. They don't even like being told they are wrong by their own conscious.

We look in the world and ask do the people of the world still have a conscious; can the people in the world see what is right and wrong when there is so much hatred and evil? Yes, it is still there for God and the Spirit will never abandon us.

In the scrutiny of self and God, the enemy hides and tells us lies by what is in the world  Even God's gifts can be tarnished when we have them in our imperfection. A tarnished scrutiny of our conscious polished by the enemies lies that are in the world.

Our spirit brings us truth and goodness that is from God but too many times we see the bright shiny tarnish of evil found in the voice of the enemy. 

Prayer:

Almighty Father, source of truth, send your Spirit into our hearts so we grow in truth for our good and the good of all. Amen.
