Search me, 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.~Psalm 139:23-24
I need a tune up. I need God to examine me and search my thoughts and heart. I want Him to remove anything and everything that is unpleasing to Him. I want my walk, talk, and thought to align with His word and His will.
Examination means exposure. Bringing things out of the darkness into the light, but I don’t have to fear this because walking in the light draws me closer to God. I can experience the grace of His love as I acknowledge my sin. I can acknowledge any self reliance or idols that I have let creep in. I can ask for forgiveness and be led by God into an everlasting way.
I want to live with an eternal mindset. This means that I want to live for Christ. I want to walk in faith and have my steps ordered by Him. I don’t want any bitterness to rule me. I don’t want offenses to block my path. So I invite God to show me my heart and my my thinking so that I can live an abundant life.
Lord, I know that perfect love casts out fear. So I humbly request that You search me and reveal the ways in which I may be coming up short. Help me to repent and move forward with an eternal mindset. In Jesus name. Amen
