Search me

Psalm 139
"Search me, O God..."

Funny how the simplest words can have the deepest of meanings.

Notice how the psalmist David cries out to God. He spends the entire chapter 139 telling God how He knows him and how God has searched him and made him. He declares how awesome his God is.

Then we get to verse 23.
It's not enough to know who God is, and what He can do in our lives, or what He has done. We must invite Him in to intimacy.

Notice that David doesn't ask God to Search him, he demands it. David truly is a man after God's own heart. David knows that only God can be his judge.

Telling God to search our hearts and minds is inviting Him to show us who He sees. Maybe we're ready, maybe we're not. Are we ready to change? Ready to grow? Ready for intimacy with our King? Oh how the world would change if our minds and hearts would just open to the one true God who made every part of us; who already knows each care and thought, strength and weakness.

The world may never be ready, but GOD IS! Search Me, Oh God...One heart at a time changing the world to lead on it's knees.
