Do You Need A Tune-up?
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalms 139:23-24)
Today’s Morsel: If you know anything about your automobile, then you know that sooner or later you are going to need a tune-up in order for it to run correctly and preform the way that it should. Those sparkplugs, oil and filters, wiring, belts, hoses, wipers, and fluids are going to need to be changed out for new ones. Now, we can do it when it’s supposed to be done, or we can chance it, and watch it cost us twice as much when they break or quit working. Which some mechanics like for you to do, as they know that they can charge you what they want because you want your vehicle running again. And in most cases, you are willing to pay for it to get done. David found himself needing a tune-up. And so, he prayed, asking that God would search him and know His heart, and test him and see if there was any wicked way in him. You see, according to Jeremiah, our hearts are so deceitful and wicked that we cannot know them. Solomon even tells us that if we trust in our heart then we are fools. Yes, we are called to have prefect hearts, but for some unknown reasons, we do allow things to come into our minds that we ought not to. And when we do, we don’t run and operate the way that we should. When is the last time you brought yourself to the Chief Mechanic (Jesus), and said to Him as David did: Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.
Sing: On my way home (0h on my way home), on my way home (oh, on my way home) on my way home (oh my way home), come on fix me Jesus, fix me, like You said You would.
