Here is today’s Bible reading: Exodus 13:17-15:18; Matthew 21:23-46; Psalm 26:1-12; Proverbs 6:16-19
Psalm 26:2 (NIV)
Test me, O Lord, and try me,
examine my heart and my mind;
Part of my journey for the past year has been about my heart. God isn’t interested in us just “behaving.” He wants us to have hearts that are truly like His. Mine is not. I knew that. He knew that. And so, He has begun the process of spiritual open heart surgery to change that. The crazy thing about this procedure is that you have to go on living while it is happening. That is no small challenge. But it does make you rely on Him even more. I look forward to having a heart that is pleasing in His sight.
Like the Apostle Paul, I want more than anything to know Christ (Phil. 3:10). I do not want to simply know about Him. I want to know Him-- personally, intimately, and experientially. It is not enough for me to hear about Him. I want to see Him with my own eyes.
With My Own Eyes

You say “I knew that”. Well I didn’t. I did not know how truly lacking in humility I was. It was, and is, an excruciating revelation. I am so ashamed. How could I have been so blind to it. I know my flesh. I know my sin nature. But still, I WAS clueless.
And now, it is a new day, and a new dawn. I am rejoicing in the process of His adding humility, through sometimes painful, and humiliating circumstance. Hallelujah.
