There are so many things that I see in this verse. Mostly it is personal. But it is all tied to my faith lived out and following Jesus. There is more to the verses and to the story than I shared yesterday.
But what I want to draw your attention to is similar to what I shared yesterday. Let’s take another look. Maybe from a different angle.
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.
Search me, O God.
That is a request made of our God. Go directly to the source. Allow Him to open the truth and deal with you.
It is people you trust that you let deal with you and your problems. You let the doctor deal with your health and healing. You let a counselor in to your heart and head to do with hurt, pain and actions. You let your spouse and your children be part of your every day life where it matters most.
So, ask God to look deep inside to search you and see the truth.
God, what are my anxious thoughts? Test me here, please.
God, what do you point out where I have offended you? Test me here, please.
God, please lead me after you have tested me so that I go the right direction and with you.
God, I ask you to search me.
You have to allow a search. You have to choose to take in the knowledge of what is found.
2 Peter 2:9 NLT
So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.
He knows you and knows all truth. Hear Him out. Ask God to search you.
