UNDETECTED INFECTION!

Undetected infection. Sounds like an inside job, doesn't it. A heart problem undetected.

Last week  I unexpectedly entered an unknown antigen area as I donned my mask and visited a loved one. 

Three days later she tested positive for COVID! I was advised of my exposure to her and followed CDC protocol. She and I had both been vaccinated. She ended up in the hospital and remains there. I had my first test 3 days later and today I had my 5th day test. 

Between the two tests I had enough time in quarantine to do a little heart/soul searching. 

If I have spiritual infection residing in my own heart, others might never see it. In some instances even I might be unaware. A pure heart is created by God. What's more, He must continually recreate it.

The solution? Ask God to search you & show you where you are infected with sin---maybe sin unbeknownst to you. (Psalm 139:23-24)

Today my COVID test was negative!! Hallelujah!

Create in me a clean heart, O Lord and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10) 

Hallelujah, also that the Lord can keep "cleaning me up" until I walk through heaven's gates and all infections will be gone. HALLELUJAH.........forever!

CHOOSE: GOD'S SCRUTINY

Why choose God's scrutiny? He sees beyond the surface of ones' heart. (Jeremiah 17:9-10) 
God sees our inmost motives, which might even be hidden to us. To be rightly related to God, one needs to pursue holiness as both an inward and outward course.
According to September 1 entry of My Utmost for His Highest,
Holiness means; unsullied walking with the feet, unsullied talking with the tongue, and unsullied thinking with the mind---every detail of life under the scrutiny of God. (https://utmost.org/destined-to-be-holy/) 
Maintain a continual watchfulness. (MUFHH, 9/15)

Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts;  

And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way. (Psalm 139:23-24)

God's scrutiny--- the path to holiness for those who "pray and obey."
Choose it today, Dotsy!
