Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Psalm 139:23
So I walked into church this past Sunday morning, I was running late so I didn't go to my usual Sunday School Class, I slipped into the beginners class. The class was being taught on how to pray, and when to pray, and when you pray to be specific in your prayer. The teacher began to tell us that when they pray, their prayer is about asking God to show them who they really are, show me oh lord what I need to work on in myself. You know sometimes we can get so caught up with the things that are going on around us, and praying for subjection of flesh in somebody else and forget that it is me oh lord standing in the need of prayer!
The teacher said that when you ask God to search you, be ready to accept what God tells you about yourself! So God told the teacher that they were selfish, and of course they didn't believe it. So here comes the test!! God sent their godchild for the weekend and the godchild stole all of the attention.
When it was time for the godchild to go back home they started to cry and say, " I don't want to go", but the teacher said in their head , " you ain't staying another night here, you have to go". Immediately, God spoke and said, " I told you that you are selfish, you are upset at your godchild and don't want to share your attention, you would rather they leave so you can get it all, while the child's poor little eye's are pouring out." Instantly, the teacher said they had to ask for forgiveness, because they really didn't believe it!
God has away of letting us know where we stand, and what we need to work on to be righteous and holy. So the next time we're praying for guidance let us remember to accept what's in us, so God can deliver us for His Glory.
