Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Most of us don't like being scrutinized or tested, especially not the motives and thoughts behind our actions. However, God knows us thoroughly. He has been with us from our conception (Psalm 139:13-16) and will work with us through the grave and beyond (Psalm 139:7-12; Romans 8:38-39). So let's invite him into our interior world to search us, test us, and even scrutinize our anxious thoughts. He is not with us to condemn or punish, but to cleanse and redeem so we can find his everlasting way of life!

My Prayer...

Search me, O God. I know that my heart is not always pure, and my ways are far from perfect.

Search me, O God, for I need your purifying presence.

Search me, O God, for I want you to set my life's course and destination.

With the psalmist, David, I continue my prayer:

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
