Father, please search our hearts and try us and see if there be any wicked way in us.Please cleanse our hearts of any impurities in our spirits. “We cannot make headway in seeking God without first tearing down the accumulated junk in our souls. Rationalizing has to cease . We have to start seeing the sinful debris we hadn’t noticed before, which is what holds back the blessings of God. Anytime people get hungry to truly know the Lord, the Holy Spirit quickly puts a shovel and broom into their hands. Husbands and wives begin to deal with long buried issues. Adults take a closer look at their choice of TV programs and movies. Church members begin to see the damage wreaked by their gossip and their criticism. Sin grieves the Holy Spirit and quenches His power among us. Without His blessing we miss out on what God has for us and wants us to be. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. When we see God, He will bless us. But when we stop seeking Him… all bets are off, no matter who we are. It doesn’t matter how much talent we have, how many diplomas hanging on our walls, or anything else. Listen to me… The Lord is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. 2 Chronicles 15:2 The cause-and-effect relationship cannot be clearer.The more we seek God, the more we see our need to seek Him.For the eyes of the Lord roam to and fro throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.
