Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;
and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting.
--Psalm 139:23-24
The philosopher Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth
living." If a common philosopher could think that, how much more we
Christians ought to listen to the Holy Spirit when He says,
"Examine yourself." An unexamined Christian lies like an
unattended garden. Let your garden go unattended for a few months,
and you will not have roses and tomatoes but weeds. An unexamined
Christian life is like an unkempt house. Lock your house up as
tight as you will and leave it long enough, and when you come back
you will not believe the dirt that got in from somewhere. An
unexamined Christian is like an untaught child. A child that is not
taught will be a little savage. It takes examination, teaching,
instruction, discipline, caring, tending, weeding and cultivating
to keep the life right.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my
anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in
the way everlasting. Amen"
