search me


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.


There are so many things that I see in these special verses.  Mostly it is personal.  But it is also tied to my faith, lived out and following Jesus.  There is more to the verses.  

 

But what I want to draw your attention to is this … Search me, O God.  

 

What an awesome request made of our God.  What a deep and difficult request because God may share something that is hard to hear or difficult to deal with.


Keep searching.  Go directly to the source.  Allow Him to open the truth and deal with you.  He is faithful.  He is to be trusted.

 

The people we trust help us deal best with problems, questions and direction.  We let the doctor deal with our health.  We let a counselor look in to our heart and head to do with hurt, habits and hang ups.  We let our spouse and our children be part of what matters most.

 

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.

 

Allow God to search you.  We have to choose to deal with God points out in our lives.  He knows you and knows all truth.  Hear Him out.  Ask God to search you.

 

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.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
