We have focused on knowing God and tended to ignore knowing ourselves. The consequences have often been grievous—marriages betrayed, families destroyed, ministries shipwrecked and endless numbers of people damaged.
Often times it’s because we are afraid of what we may see. Or we think it doesn’t matter if we know the Lord. But Psalm 139:23-24 David is asking God to search him and know his heart and his anxious thoughts. Point out anything that offends Him. In other words, show me me! Awaken me to myself Lord. Show me anything about me that offends you. So when I see it then you can lead me in the path of everlasting life. I have to see my ways!
