146. Search Me, O God

Psalm 131,138-139,143-145

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.   Psalm 139:23-24

These are some hard words to say and mean. It can be scary asking and inviting God to search you, and know your heart and your thoughts, and point out any wickedness that might be in you. God already knows everything but to invite Him to examine your life and show you what needs to be changed will guarantee some things will come to light if there are things that need to be dealt with or that you’re letting slide. As uncomfortable as it might be, would you be willing to ask God for an examination and let Him point out and change every little thing that He wants you to? Then will you proceed to repent for your sin and change your life around to match His will for you?

God's Vessel

  God's Vessel by Ruth Navis I am God's precious vessel, He's molding me of clay; To work and serve, and love, and be with Him one day. He gently forms and fashions me to make me what I ought to be, But then someone acts carelessly and breaks this work of clay. All anyone can see are the pieces on the floor; They laugh and poke their fun at me, and walk right out the door. I look to God in my brokenness and for help and mercy cry; I'm all alone, broken pieces of stone that everyone's left behind. I'm broken, bruised, and battered, but no one seems to care; Then God above looks down in love, and shows me He is there. He picks up all the pieces, he takes them one by one; He glues them back together, until His work is done. Now when people look at me, they can see all my scars. They think that they are all my fault, that I've earned them, missed the bar. So they continue to pick on me, because now I'm no longer pretty, I cry out to God helplessly, and hope ...

72. God Does All Things For Our Good

Deuteronomy 5-7 O that there were such an hear in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, and it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!    Deuteronomy 5:29 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.    Deuteronomy 6:24 God made it clear, and the children of Israel understood that all the commandments that God had given them were for their good and because God loved them. When there are things that God convicts you of, or rules applicable to you from His word, what is your response? Do you understand that He loves you and wants only the best for you? Or do you choose to think He doesn't know what He's doing and wants to keep you from having fun or enjoying life? The rules and the commandments God gives us and the guidelines and boundaries He puts in place is for our good. Will you choose just to trust and ...

135. Leave Your Life In God’s Hands

2 Samuel 13-15 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God in to the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:     But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.   2 Samuel 15:15-26 David and many others had to flee from the sneaky reign of Absalom. They had brought the ark of the covenant with them, most people believed that if the ark was with them, God himself was with them and they were sure to succeed. But David told them to return it to the city and that the Lord would bring him back home if it was His will. Despite what others may say, where is your trust? Do you leave your life in God's hands or do you trust your car, the person driving, whether that be yourself or someone else? If God calls you into a dangerous or scary situation, will you trust God to keep you safe and bring you home if it's His...
