Search me God

David was described as a man after God’s own heart. David wasn’t perfect by any means, but he did strive to walk close to God. Even with David’s ups and down he wanted to always restore his relationship with God.

Sometimes we can fool ourselves into thinking I am doing OK, everything is right with God when actually it might not be. David courageously asked God to conduct an internal evaluation This was a brave request considering God knows all things, even that which we hide from ourselves. Would we be that courageous to ask God to evaluate our life.

David did this in Psalm 139 verses 23 and 24. It reads below.

Psalm139: 23 -24.

23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

In order to live a Christian life where our relationships are close and intimate with God, we have to deal with the sin in our lives. The Christian life is hard, and we need to walk in a constant state of repentance.

Are we at a point in our Christian walk where we would ask God to do an internal evaluation of our life? With the goal being to remove anything that would cause a barrier between us and God. We must surrender to Him: believing His infinite understanding of who we are is far superior than our finite perspective.

诗篇 139:23–2423　神啊，求你鉴察我，知道我的心思；　试炼我，知道我的意念。24　看在我里面有什么恶行没有，　引导我走永生的道路。

解释与应用（中文翻译）为了过一个与神亲密相交的基督徒生活，我们必须处理生命中的罪。基督徒的生活并不容易，我们需要持续地行在悔改之中。

在我们的信仰旅程中，我们是否已经到达一个愿意让神来检查我们内心的地步？目标是除去一切可能成为我们与神之间障碍的东西。我们必须完全降服于祂，相信祂无限的智慧与慈爱。
