If Only This Was True

Scripture Psalms 17:3 You have tested my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me and have found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

Observation: There are things in the Bible I wish I could say to God. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to tell God you checked my heart and found nothing wrong and that I make sure that I don’t say anything wrong. I wish I was that kind of man, because I know my heart and the stupid things that I say and I know they don’t honor God. I would be afraid to tell my Lord to check my heart and to test me. I wish even a day would go by that I don’t say something that isn’t righteous or hurtful, whether joking or not.

Application: I need to be that man whose ultimate goal to be righteous before God and that He can check and test my heart and find nothing wrong. That every time I speak, I encourage others or that they may see Jesus in my words and actions. I haven’t come close yet, but I can’t give up. I need to at least get better each day and to draw close to this goal and to never give up.

Prayer: My Lord I will never be able to do this without you. I need the Holy Spirit to take charge of my life and show me how to be righteous before you. I need His guiding to make me more like Jesus and that I will fulfill the purpose you have created me for. Please never give up on me, because without you I’m nothing.
