my hypocrisies

isaiah 7:13

It’s bad enough that you make people tired with your pious, timid hypocrisies, but now you’re making God tired.

pious means sincere but unlikely to be fulfilled.  timid means showing a lack of courage or confidence.  i wonder how many people i have made tired with these hypocrisies.  how often i say things that are sincere, but everyone thinks to themselves, ‘it’s never going to happen.’  how often i approach a situation and know in the back of my mind (and in the front of everyone else’s minds) that i am lacking courage and confidence.  how exhausting is that?  how much more does GOD have for me?  how often is HE saying ‘you said you’d trust ME, and I said I was strong in your weaknesses, but you back down before you ever make a move.’  be with me today.  change my heart and my attitude.  search my heart and point out to me my pious, timid hypocricies, and give me the strength i need to be done with them, to trust YOU and YOUR word.
