Psalm 139 says Search me, O God, and know my
heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way
in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.
Would you want to stand trial for every anxious and
fearful thought you’ve had? I would
not! I would be found guilty,
daily. Yet, the psalmist here invites
God to try him and know his thoughts.
God knows our thoughts, anyway. He knows them before we think them, because
he knows our heart. And he knows that
anxiety and fear are hurtful. Anxiety is
not good for us physically, and it’s not good for us mentally and
emotionally…and spiritually. And yet
many of us sit in a pool of anxiety until we’re shriveled up.
There is no fear in asking God to search us. He’s not one who will search and
condemn. He is one who will search and
heal, and lead us to a higher place of thinking – the everlasting way.
Allow God in to search your heart, every nook and
cranny. Allow him to speak to those dark
places in your heart where fear resides, and allow him so shine his light – not
to blind you – but to deliver you.
He will.
Because he loves you so.
