SEARCH ME

“Search me, 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.”

Psalm 139:23-24

Do you know that God searches our heart? Because only He can see the true motivation behind what we do. What will a search of your heart reveal? Anxious thoughts? Fear? Doubt? Impatience? Anger? Worry?

Our life is what our thoughts make it. When we come to God with our lips, He listens to our heart. The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 16:9 that the eyes of the Lord roam to and fro strengthening those hearts who are loyal to Him.

We cannot have a heart entirely for God if we have thoughts of anxiety and offence because worry interferes with God’s Spirit. The psalmist knew this. That is why he asked God to search, know and test his heart so that he could know everlasting life.

Ask the Spirit of the living God to search your heart and remove any root of sin so that you may love what is holy, in Jesus’ name.

SECURE YOUR HEART

A house built on the rock stands forever.
By faith, we begin to look not at our weakness but believe that we have the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Righteousness is right standing before God. In His presence, your heart is secured.

SHOWER YOUR SPIRIT

27 November 2024

Despite taking great care of our physical appearance, so many of us are discouraged, frustrated, fearful, angry, bitter and offended inside – and this is what shows through our words and behaviour, no matter how much we try and hide it. Why? Because our heart is not cleansed and our mind not refreshed.

CONVICTED BY YOUR CONSCIENCE

14 November 2024

Often, the loudest rebuke is the one from the inside of us. Because the motive of our heart cannot be concealed, and no one knows us better than we do ourselves. So, if we are convicted by our conscience, there is hope for us.
