Search Me, O God
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; 24 And see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.
Psalm 139:23-24
Beloved:
In life there is so much that we cannot control. We cannot control our boss, neighbors, coworkers, spouse, best friends, children, other’s prejudice, the government, the list goes on. This lack of control can contribute to us feeling helpless in terms of improving our world and personal situation.
David suggested something that all of us have the power to control. We can all ask God to search us and reveal any overlooked or suppressed sin that may be in our heart. This honest, probing self-examination is God’s way of showing us where our shortcomings are and better enabling us to make the necessary adjustments. This not only improves our situation, but also that of those around us.
If we want any environment that we are a part of to improve, one of the best ways to facilitate that is to start with ourselves. This week ask God to search you, and as you make the necessary adjustments, as David suggests, you will be on your way to more intimate fellowship with God through His continual presence.
His best and BE ENCOURAGED!
