Search me, O God, and know my heart. —Psalm 139:23 Remember when we were younger that when our parents use to ask us to clean our rooms before going out to play. We would take everything and stack them in the closed within 2min and run outside to play…Thinking that they wouldn’t find out that we didn’t clean our rooms properly. This reminds me of what many of us do with our lives. We clean up the outside of our lives hoping that no one will look into the “closet” where we have hidden our sins by reason and excuses and by blaming others for our own faults. The problem is that while looking good on the outside, we remain well aware of the mess on the inside. The psalmist encourages us to submit to the cleansing inspection of God: “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” (Ps. 139:23-24). Let’s invite Him to inspect and cleanse every corner of our lives. Lord, forgive me for looking good on the outside while attempting to hide my faults and failings. I desire for You to cleanse my life so that I may walk with You in full integrity. We can own up to our wrongs— because we can’t hide them from God anyway. Gud morning peeps…Have a blessed Sunday…!!!
