--SELF-CHECKING ~~

"Let us examine our ways and test them,
and let us return to the LORD." [Lamentations 3:40]

~~Self-checking is really a good idea for all of us. Several times in Scriptures, the writers mention the importance of taking a good long look at ourselves to find what's not right--not God-honoring.
The psalmist, for example, prayed, "Search me, God, and know my heart...See if there is any offensive way in me" (Psalm 139:23-24). Jeremiah put it like this: "Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD (Lamentations 3:40). And Paul, speaking of our heart condition at the time of communion, said, "Everyone ought to examine themselves" (1 Corinthians 11:28).

The Holy Spirit can help us turn from any attitudes or actions that don't please God. So before we head out into the world today, let's stop and seek the Holy Spirit's help in doing some self-checking so we can "return to the LORD' in fellowship with Him.

--"Search me, O God, and know my heart. See if there are any changes I need to make today as I seek to know You more and serve You better. Help me, Lord, to do what is right in Your eyes. You are my everything, Lord Jesus! In Jesus Name. ~ amen"
