The Inner Lamp

Proverbs 20:27:
“The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.”

There’s something built into you … your conscience, your spirit … that God uses like a lamp, illuminating what’s really going on inside you, even the parts you’d rather not examine. Self-deception is possible, but it isn’t easy; God has placed an internal light that keeps flickering toward truth.
Instead of avoiding self-examination, invite it. Ask God to use that inner lamp today … to search the “inward parts” you’ve been avoiding, so nothing stays hidden even from yourself.

Prayer: Father, search my inward parts today. Let Your light expose what I’ve been avoiding, gently but honestly. Amen.
