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.

THE GARDEN OF DECISION

11 September 2024

In the garden of Eden, a place of pleasure, a place of abundance, a place of intimacy with God, Adam disobeyed.
In the garden of Gethsemane, a place of pain, a place of sorrow, a place of suffering where before Him was the weight of the sins of the world and rejection from God, Jesus obeyed.

THE GREATEST WEAPON

3 September 2024

No matter the challenge or confrontation you face today, it is how you respond that matters because our real enemy is sin. When our impatience is provoked, our patience has a chance to grow, when our hatred is provoked, our love has a chance to grow. When our doubt is provoked, our faith has a chance to grow. The psalmist understood that the only way to respond as God would want us to, is when the Word of God is hidden in our heart.

ENTER GOD’S PRESENCE

26 August 2024

“How do we meet Jesus today? We can only relate and meet Jesus Christ through His Word and by His Spirit! It is God’s Word which builds the bridge of faith which connects us to God.
The Word dominating our heart is the Lordship of Christ in us. This is why Jesus is asking us to remain in His Word.”
