Search me, O 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
How often do we ask God to search our hearts?
It seems like so often we’re asking God to be with this person, or be with this situation, or help me get through this, or help me with this. Yet the man Scripture says was “after God’s own heart” asked Him on several occasions to search his heart.
Sometimes we wonder why God isn’t molding us, or helping us with a certain situation, and yet we haven’t asked God to search our hearts, see if there be any offensive way in us and lead us. We want God to lead our lives, but yet we don’t ask Him.
This has really been on my heart lately, that God would search my heart and get rid of the things that stand in the way of my relationship with Him. I’m in the process of writing a song about it.
So, God, search my heart, and help me serve You more.
