Lord God, You Are My Iniquity-Smiter

April 1 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on 1Kings 14-16 Key Verse –1Kings 14:15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger. LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY INIQUITY-SMITER Lord God, You are my iniquity-Smiter along my shameful childishness Thank You for checking my lack of reason due to my foolishness I repent from feigning myself before Your righteousness Help me follow Your commandments with earnestness. Lord God, You are my iniquity-Smiter along my perilous rage Thank You for blocking my evil thoughts that hinder my courage I repent from indulging myself in sin’s vain wastage Help me choose Your ways by Your guiding vantage. Lord God, You are my iniquity-Smiter along my fatal jealousy Thank You for transforming my attitude with Your truth and mercy I repent from burying myself in humanistic tendency Help me submit to Your leadership’s holy fervency. Lord God, You are my iniquity-Smiter along my obvious imperfection Thank You for correcting my shallow dedication and skin-deep devotion I repent from presenting myself with hypocrisy’s passion Help me do my part in the fulfillment of Your great commission. Lord God, You are my iniquity-Smiter along my carnal involvement Thank You for arresting my compromises of damaging engagement I repent from immersing myself into worldly allurement Help me abide in Your will midst Your perfection-enablement. Lord God, You are my iniquity-Smiter along my fleshly might Thank You for directing my walk toward Your throne’s light I repent from encamping myself against Your protective sight Help me stay in Your compassion’s delight. Lord God, You are my iniquity-Smiter along my futile vanities Thank You for illumining my vision through Your Word-certainties I repent from hiding myself against worship-filled duties Help me stand upon Your strong foundations of eternal verities.
