Can you imagine saying to the Lord what David says in Psalm 139:23?
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts”. (Psalm 139:23)
Of course, the Almighty God doesn’t need an invitation to know our hearts and our thoughts.
But still, isn’t that such a bold and confident invitation that David makes?
It can be uncomfortable when I realize that the Lord knows I’m making up excuses to not say my prayers again, or when I’m annoyed at someone I’m supposed to be serving, or when I’m just going through good motions without any good intent behind them.
But today, I want to do something a little different.
I invite you to reflect on the good things that the Lord would find if you invited Him to know your heart and to know your thoughts.
What good intentions would He find?
What love would He experience?
What hope and faith would He discover?
The Lord knows all the good things going on in your heart and in your mind.
I bet He is proud and happy and pleased with so much.
Knowing our hearts and our thoughts actually doesn’t seem so uncomfortable anymore.
It seems… merciful.
There is so much good within you.
Even when it seems like your good intentions aren’t visible to anyone, they are visible to Him.
Happy Studying!
