Search me, O God

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. - Psalms 139:23-24

How often do we actually pray this prayer? We know for sure that God knows our thoughts, and He knows what we are going to do next. He knows our every movement, our faith, our beliefs, how much we really trust Him and the deepest longings that we have, which the world may not be able to see.

The question is, are we willing to let God know of all of our inner-most thoughts and beings? Are we ready to let go and ask God to search us and try us to see if there are any wicked ways in us?

This is the ultimate trust in God! We ourselves may not know if there are certain kinds of wickedness in us, but if we let the Spirit of God do the searching for us, He will bring it to light so that we can ask God to purge us and cleanse us.

Let us trust in the Lord with all of our heart and let God lead us in the way everlasting.
