David didn’t hide his heart, or excuse his heart. He bared his heart before God, and invited the discomfort of growth.
======================
Scripture
Psalm 139:23-24
“Search me, oh God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!”
Observation
David was not perfect, but he desired to become the man that God desired him to be. He kept his heart transparent before God, and invited God to shape and mold him, and deal with anything impure within him. He didn’t hide his heart, or excuse his heart. He bared his heart before God, and invited the discomfort of growth.
Application
I am imperfect. On my own, I cannot measure up to what God desires. God sees all, so I cannot hide from Him. He knows all, so I cannot maintain a facade before Him. All I can do is accept the grace He offers me, and allow Him to continue to shape me into His image.
Prayer
God, thank you for loving me! Thank you for seeing every part of my heart, and loving me anyway. I invite your transformation and growth in my life. Lead me in your ways, so that I would grow daily more like you.
