Given a choice, I’d probably not voluntarily visit a doctor for a physical exam. I’m inclined to assume that everything is okay and not bother any doctor about it. But since my gf is a nurse and it’s required annually at work, I don’t have a choice, I go in for regular exam.
And given a choice, many of us are a little afraid of spiritual checkups as well. After all, if we check our spirit too closely, we might have to change a habit or two. We might need something like an “attitude-ectomy”.
I suggest we get over reluctance. With God‘s guidance, let’s undergo a spiritual checkup, using Proverbs 4:20-27 as a checklist.
Ears [v.20] – Are we hearing God’s words clearly and with understanding?Are we doing what those words tell us?
Eyes [v.21,25] – Are we keeping our eyes on the teachings that will guide us toward righteousness?
Heart [v.23] – Are we protecting our heart from evil?
Tongue [v.24] – Is our mouth clean and pure/
Feet [v.26] – Are we walking straight toward God’s truth without wavering?
How did you do on your examination? Regular checkups will help to restore your spiritual vitality. Psalm 26:2 said, “Examine me, O Lord.”
