This week my wife took her car in for its annual MOT and thankfully it passed! Those of us with cars over 3 years old have to annually renew our MOT and go through the various tests to show that our car is safe to drive on the road.
It seems to me that spiritual it’s good for us to also have a MOT or “check up”. Oswald Chambers in his excellent devotional book “My Utmost for His Highest” says in his 17th March thought, “At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you.”
I think this is very wise advice and a weekly spiritual check up would no doubt be a good use of time for most of us.
“Lord help us to be prepared to undertake a spiritual check up and to repent of anything that you show us which is inconsistent with your will for us.”
