Psalm 139:23-24
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
What of Today’s Verse…
God does know us. We cannot pretend we are something we are not with him. He knows us – inside and out, through and through. This should liberate us to share a remarkable degree of intimacy with him, but most of us run from such a close relationship with our Father. If our desire, however, is to become more like him, the only way to be transformed is by inviting him in to look at our hearts, 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
I open to Spirit and follow divine guidance.
I have journeyed to a crossroads of opportunity. This is a place for me to pause and reflect upon the road I have been travelling and the choice that lies ahead.
I imagine that I have just walked through the desert and have now reached an oasis with refreshing water, a cool breeze and a hammock tied between two shade-giving trees. I have reached a welcome refuge.
I experience this kind of an oasis as I let go of personal striving–trying to do it all myself–and let God guide me, and then a sense of calm washes over me as I release my concerns and trust that God will show me the way.
I pause, I listen and I discern the guidance I have been seeking. Following the guidance I receive leads me to my greater good.
“If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.” –Galatians 5:25
