“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.
