Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting – Psalm 139:23-24
This is one of the verses that shows David’s heart attitude towards God. David was keenly aware that God knew Him better than he knew himself. He was aware that he had blind spots that only God could see. He was not content with just living the way he was. He did not say “well, this is who I am.” His interest was in becoming more God-like in his heart, his thinking, his attitude, his words, and his actions. He knew that the root of all things – whether good or bad – start in the heart. Knowing this, he asked for God to search his heart. He desired to be aware of hidden issues so that he could confess them, repent from them, and obtain forgiveness. Oh, that we too would be men and women after God’s heart just like David. Only by doing this would we grow spiritually and attain a higher degree of righteous living – living in peace, joy, and harmony in our hearts.
My life is a journey of becoming more like Christ as I grow spiritually
