Search Me

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalms 139:23-24 (KJV)

Each of us seems to have certain areas, or facets, of our character that are tucked neatly away out of public view. Some are not even visible to us. We are blind to many of our own residual sins and can only see them in others. This is why we are told to check for "beams" in our own eyes before we look for "splinters" in another's eye.

Luke 6:42 (KJV) Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

We are cleansed by the blood of Jesus and the power of sin is broken off our lives by means of His atoning work at the Cross of Calvary. We, though justified, are, however, then are sanctified, being sanctified (processed on the road of sanctification) and will stand before Him sanctified.

During the process, it is vital that we willingly allow the Lord to "search" us in the depths of our hearts. He, and He alone, can sound the depths of our innermost being, find those hidden things and root them out.

The blood of Jesus works in our lives like the blood in our body. It brings healing, cleansing and nourishment to every fiber of our being with every heart beat. So the blood of Jesus flows into every area of our lives to take away any corruption, and bring healing, cleansing and life giving nourishment. His Spirit applies the blood where and as needed.

Like a shepherd, His Spirit will lead us. We have a faithful teacher, guide, comforter, strengthener and helper (Joh. 14 & 16).

Remember, Beloved, He loves you and will work His work in and through you as His grace envelopes your life. Give Him permission to access your deepest being with every room of your heart unlocked and open to Him. He will lead you in the way.
