"Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and mind." Psalm 26:2
I think this verse is where I am living right now. Not trying to prove myself to God, or pass His test, but allowing Him to prove me, to try me, to test my heart and mind that I would understand myself. Do I love God fully? Am I fully faithful to Him? Do I love my neighbor, not with words or slogans, but in action?
I love that in these times of testing there exists no fear of failure. I'm not afraid of what God reveals, because any lack that is brought to light, God fills. God forgives, cleanses, ignites a passion, and empowers me for His work. Fear is replaced with joyful anticipation.
"For Your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in faithfulness to You." Psalm 26:3
Amen, Lord! Let this be true in me!
My Prayer
Lord, I come knowing there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I come knowing that I can look at myself, see what You are showing me, not as judgment leading to condemnation, but as enlightenment leading to change. Please give me ears to hear and a heart to receive. Amen.
