VULNERABLE

Vulnerable. That word causes a shudder in most people. Vulnerable. It means that a person is open. Everything that is hidden is revealed. What was once secure territory is now open for infiltration. Vulnerable. We think of that word in a negative metaphor to someone or ourselves open to danger to exposure. Open to revelation of some deep, dark secret in our closet look at that word again in a more positive sense. Vulnerable. Being open to God. Open to exposure-the Holy Spirit. Open and vulnerable to God means revelation, it means being open to His revelation. Being vulnerable to God allows those hidden things to be revealed-things that cause death, not life- repentance. Being vulnerable to God means being able to expose oneself to His will,His direction. If we are to be vulnerable to anything in this world, it is to the sovereign will of God and not will of the flesh and the devil.
