"Examine me. O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart." Ps. 26;2
What a request!!!!!!!!
David beseeching God to examine him, both mind and heart.
What a thought; that one's desire to be in right relationship with God would cause him to ask God to give him His personal examination to check out his spiritual condition, both mind and heart.
But what more perfect way to know exactly how one stands with God than to ask Him to "exmaine" his heart mind, soul, and spirit; the whole 'nine yards'?
It takes both faith and courage to make such a request, but what better way to know that our ways are the ways of the Lord, and that because this is true He is guarding our steps day by day.....because we asked Him to do so.
That's the picture of one whose mind is stayed on God.
I am reminded of the hymn, "When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, what a joy He sheds on our way. As we do His good will, He abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey.." (John H. Sammis)
