Proverbs 25
4 Remove the dross from the silver, and out comes material for the silversmith;
5 remove the wicked from the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness.
One of my first and finest mentors said that, "God wants his church to grow, we just have to get out of the way." He was making the point that God had already equipped and positioned his church to grow, we just needed to cooperate with him. I believe this is true of those who pursue righteousness, remove the dross and we will see the beauty of God rise up from within us.
Christian spirituality has long embraced two words, "confession" and "repentance." When we confess our sins and omissions and turn towards God's wisdom, then we will see our lives become the material God uses to bless the world.
How can we get out of God’s way so that he can shine brilliantly through us today?
