Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me.
Test my motives and my heart. (Ps. 26:2,NLT)
Examine me, God, from head to foot,
order your battery of tests.
Make sure I’m fit
inside and out (Ps. 26:2, MSG)
Few people are willing to let others judge or examine them. Some hate any kind of test of their mental or physical abilities. Most people do not wished to be critiqued regarding their personal conduct. On the other hand, all humanity will one day stand before God’s Judgment. Solomon conclude his work Ecclesiastes with these words:
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” [Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14 KJV]
What we need to be willing to do is to walk our lives with integrity.
David understood that if he trusted in the Lord, he would not slide.
Whom do we trust in?
Do we walk in integrity and do we really believe that God can and will move in our lives?
At times, the Lord will test the righteous.
God sees our mind and our heart.
Are you prepared to take your test?
Would you pass it?
Trusting and obeying are the keys to passing your test.
Walk with integrity, and trust in the Lord without wavering.
Like David: Examine me, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.
