Proverbs 20:27 (NLT)

The Lord’s light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive.

God has placed within us all a light, His light. I like to think of the Holy Spirit as that light. If we have quenched His presence in our life that light can be just a flicker at times but is still capable of searching out our very thoughts and intentions. We are served well to pay attention to the voice of the Holy Spirit; it’s a compass that points to Him.

Another most useful “light” penetrating our spirit is His Word. It has the power to shine into our heart’s exposing sin, even the very motive for sin.

I pray the prodigal will come to love God’s Word and will seek out the comfort and counsel of the Holy Spirit… that they will not be afraid to let the Lord’s light penetrate and expose sin.
