Psalm 139 is a beautiful message of how our Creator views us. The intimacy He has for us is almost overwhelming and you can almost grasp how He could send His innocent Son to take on the sin of the world. He knows us and loves us deeply. He hurts when we run away from Him or act like we don't know Him. It is amazing to think that our awesome God views us in such high regard despite all our downfalls.
I want to focus on the last two verses of the chapter.
Psalm 139:23-24 "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns. See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the everlasting way."
This has been my prayer for the last few days and will continue to be. Isn't it amazing to see the ugliness inside Godly people? Isn't it horrific when the evil inside our own hearts is revealed? We need to constantly ask the Holy Spirit to examine our hearts and our motives. The devil is very powerful and can blind certain things from us. Ask God to strip everything away from you if it means that He will be revealed through you. Don't harbor evil in your heart but seek the way that is everlasting. If you ask Him, you will receive answer. God loves you with everything He has, so in response ask Him to purify your heart so that you can have the same affection toward Him.
