Search Me O God!

 



Search me, O God and know my heart!

Try me and know my anxious thoughts!

And see if there be any grievances in me,

and lead me in the way everlasting!

Psalm 139: 23-24 (NIV) 


A Psalm of David.


David invites God to look intently into his heart. We should ask the same pf God. David then gives God permission to test him and to know what was on his mind. David asks God to look for anything that would cause grief in His heart. Also, David asks to be led by God forever.


Shouldn't we, each Christ follower, ask God to search our hearts and reveal our intentions in order to prepare us for the privilege of being led by God as we go through our days?


When we ask God to search our hearts, we ask Him to look for things we grumble about. (The weather, the traffic, those who get on our nerves, the actions of our children, etc.)


When we ask Him to do this we may find ourselves surprised at what He reveals to us. Since I asked Him to do this, I have found myself more peaceful about certain issues I face in my life.

New Blog, Long Story

 I have not had access to a computer for a few weeks. It all started with my trying to download an app to my mobile phone. My phone locked me out and I had strange messages on my computer. Then it decided it didn't like me. This went on for about two and a half weeks.   Solutions were to seek guidance in getting my old computer fixed . That didn't work; hence, a new computer and try to seek help in getting my mobile phone fixed. I ran into  the proverbial brick walls at every turn. I am slowly getting back to where I can use my computer. I will be back here with a new name for my blog.  I am still following my King.

Love Suffers Long

  Love suffers long and is kind, love does not envy, does not parade itself, is not puffed up. 1 Corinthians 13:4 (NKJV) Words of Paul Suffers long -is patient; the King James Version uses the Old English phrase-long suffering. To me, that paints a picture of the meaning of the word patient. Kind- tender in dealing with others. Does not envy - Does not wish for or want what what another person has. Does not parade itself- does not say, “Look at me!” Is not puffed up- is genuine.

God is Good to His Children

 I am still having electronic issues. Now my printer does not work. I am on a wireless connection between the printer and  my new laptop. Our son, who does some IT work, got frustrated with me when I started to tell him about this chapter of my "adventure". What he told me to do, I could not seem to get started on. Last Wednesday, I contacted the printer's manufacturer and truly got nowhere with the man. He made the suggestion that he turn this case over to someone in a higher level. We set a time, of my choosing, for the call. I did not receive a call on Thursday or Friday.  My remedy may be to  go to another manufacturer and do some serious looking and asking questions. I know no other way out off this deep hole that I am in. God is still with me and guiding me through all this.
