The great Puritan Theologian, Charles Spurgeon, once wrote, “There are two prayers always worth praying. ‘Lord, show me myself.’ and ‘Lord, show me Thyself.’ May both be heard, and you will be well taught of God!” Both will teach us much about who we are and who God is. Both have the capacity to impart divine wisdom, understanding, and insight, that we then in turn can teach others. When you utter the words, “Lord, show me myself.” you’d better be ready for the hard truth…for that’s what you’ll get. You’re a sinner saved by grace, no better than the beggar next to you, all with a propensity to lie & wander. And when you ask, “Lord, show me Yourself.” you’ll be driven even farther down into the depths of hard truth as God shows you just how small and insignificant you are in the light of His magnificent power, authority, and glory. But take courage, God won’t allow you to stay there…for His grace & mercy are more, and you will emerge enlightened with divine revelation…knowing more about God & yourself.
