Bible Reading: Psalm 139
Focus Verse: Psalm 139:23-24 " 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."
If you were sick, you would go to the doctor to ask him or her to search you and see if there is any sickness in you. Then you would want him to treat that illness to remove it from you. In the same way, we need God to help us find any sin that we try to hide so He can help us remove it.
God knows us inside and out. He made every part of every cell in our bodies as well as the sin in our lives. Are you brave enough to ask God to search out your wicked ways and then to lead you away from those sins? Is it easier to remain in denial of your wicked ways or would it be better to know the truth? Do you want to know what God finds?
Sin in our lives can come with excuses or reasons why you need to keep the sin. This can only lead to more problems in your life. If you allow God to seek and find the root of your sin, then follow Him as He leads you out of it, you will then be free of it. It is better to know the truth, even if it is a difficult truth to admit and repent of.
Pray the focus verse for yourself.
