It’ll all come out in the wash

It’ll all come out in the wash

2 Cor. 6:8-10

Amid HONOR [treated with respect] and DISHONOR [discredited];

by EVIL REPORT [defamed] and GOOD REPORT [praised].

We are BRANDED AS DECEIVERS [impostors],

and YET VINDICATED AS TRUE [justified and confirmed by our life and conduct, that we are truthful and honest; having nothing in view but God' s glory and the salvation of the world].

Pray the Word:

Lord, the old saying ‘IT’LL ALL COME OUT IN THE WASH’ (i.e.; the dirt on clothing will be dissolved eventually as it’s washed) is true. So grant us, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, our desire to be able to live influenced by a higher consideration than the need for praise for our efforts or for other people’s approval; and to not allow our purpose for You to be interfered with by such concerns which will cause us to be less faithful because of the great physical or mental effort required to accomplish our service in Your Kingdom. With patience and tenacity,  we wait for the eventual justification and confirmation, by our life and conduct, that we have nothing in view but Your glory and the salvation of the world  .  .  .  .  IT’LL ALL COME OUT IN THE WASH!
