Since I have been in the pursuit to live a life, where to live is to worship and to worship is to live, I have used some of these secular nuggets to become aware of my soul, spirit and journey with the LORD.
Is it possible that many of us live unaware of the errors inside of us? Do we realize how many of our actions are manipulated by our desire to be accepted by others? Are we aware of fears that influence our decisions? The truth is most of us are ignorant of how we appear outwardly to others. How much more are we unaware of how we are inwardly towards the Lord.
The good news is those who are IN HIM have the Holy Spirit and the Word to bring awareness of the hidden foes. The scriptures tell us the heart is more deceitful than all else. The Psalmist said,
Who can discern his lapses and errors? Clear me from hidden [and unconscious] faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be blameless, and I shall be innocent and clear of great transgression. Psalm 19;12-13
As humans we barely know the world around us how much more do we know our own soul. What's the remedy? Search after God's heart as we do we will be searching our own. As we find Him we discover who we are in Him. As we pursue the Lord we can repeat the words of King David:
Search me thoroughly, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24
What can be more important than seeking God? Join me in taking a day, a month and run after Him once you find HIM don't let him go.
