Psalm 139:23-24
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.
What of Today’s Verse…
God knows us. We can’t pretend we are something we are not with him. This should liberate us to a remarkable degree of intimacy, but most of us run from such a close relationship with God. If our desire, however, is to become more like him, the only way to be transformed is by inviting him and looking at our heart, our motivations, and our desires.
Let Us Pray:
O God, I know you are the one who “searches hearts and minds” yet because of the grace you demonstrated in Jesus, I am confident that you love me. My heart is sorry for the sin I have committed, but I am really trying to serve you in honour and purity. Please fill me with your Spirit to enable me to become more like Christ. In the name of your holy Son I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Let Go, Let GOD
“Teach me to do your will … . Let your good spirit lead me.”
Words spoken by a psalmist of the Old Testament are my prayer today: “Teach me to do your will … . Let your good spirit lead me.” With this prayer, I let go of a problem and let God be the answer.
God’s will for me is that I am healthy, whole, and strong. As I let the spirit of God lead me, I discover the good—healing, prosperity, and whatever else is needed—that is always present in every situation. Good is there because God is there.
I remain teachable, open, and receptive to the will of God. As a spiritual seeker, I let my thoughts, words, and actions be led by the spirit of God. Every day, I learn more about God’s abundant blessings for me.
“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.” —Psalm 143:10
