Knowing God - Psalm 139:23-24

(fp)

Search me, O God, and know my heart;

test me and know my thoughts. 

Point out anything in me that offends you,

and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Psalm 139:23-24

 

Confession ...

 

... and I have a confession.

 

Whenever I confess my sins, I usually confess the sins that are obvious and offensive to me. But it's a different standard -- isn't it? -- if we were to confess what is offensive to God.

 

What if our hearts cried out with a different standard? "O God ... point out anything in me that offends you."While I may initially and instinctively chafe at that kind of accountability, how blessed would be that kind of life -- for me and my family -- once I engrained those habits?!

 

God, give me the eyes that see and seek your pleasure. Amen.

 

In Christ's Love,

(as in "off"-en-sive) to "on"
