One last day looking at these verses from Psalm 139 and thinking about how God search us. He knows all. He knows us better than anyone else.
Do we trust God enough to deal with what He shows us? Are we willing to listen so we become stronger?
Psalms 139:23-24 NLT
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
That is a prayer that King David lifted to God It is a prayer of confidence in God. It is a prayer of transparency. It is not just words. It has heart in it.
There are several truths that are expressed in this important prayer. Acknowledge what God knows, how He works and that He loves us. Asking God to work in our lives changes us for the good.
Some truth…
God knows my heart.
Psalm 44:21 NLT
God would surely have known it, for he knows the secrets of every heart.
The heart is an important organ. For our health is the pump that keeps blood running through our entire body, but this verse is not about that heart. He is talking about our spiritual heart.
He knows if I am strong or weak. He knows is I am full of fear or of faith. He knows if I am ready to work or to give up. He knows if I am anxious or have peace.
Because God knows me and will point out the truth, listening, learning and making changes is an important thing to do. Allow what God shows you to bring you to new truth and to change you for the better.
Proverbs 4:23 NLT
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
That verse reminds us of the importance of our heart. So we know why David asked God to know and show him about his heart. That is why David was willing to trust God to point out the truth.
Once again ask God to search you and to point out what will keep you on the path that is leading to Him and keeping us close to Him.
Search me, O God, since you know me better than anyone else!
