Examined by God

Scripture:

 “O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

The Psalmist acknowledges in this Psalm that God is the creator and sustainer of everything we see. He knows every detail of our lives and how we will respond in every situation. He declares that the Lord has examined his heart and knows everything about him. The bottom line is, there is nothing we can hide from God. He knows every thought, every desire, and everything we do.

Application:

The reality is that God does know every detail of our lives. He misses out on nothing. The beginning of this verse is in past tense. God has already examined his heart and knows everything. The reality is that God knows every detail of our lives before we live on of them. My job is to live a life that makes Him glad. I want to live a life that God wants me to live. I want Him to examine my life and say, “well done.” I want my heart to be pure at all times and my life to demonstrate God’s goodness.

Prayer:

Lord, I need You today. Help me to live a life that, when inspected and examined, brings You glory. Help me to live in such a way that You look with gladness. I want to make You happy with my life, my obedience, my desires, and my decisions. I want to please You more than anything else in this world. Help me to make right decisions. Bless the work of my hands. 

Forever Yours,

Jeff
