Gut Check

“Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.” (Psalm 51:6)

It’s important that when things get tough, we know where a person’s heart is. We want to know who we can count on when things really count. It the same in war, in sports, even in business and family matters. We want to know where a person really stands deep, within their heart. We need a gut check at times!

It’s no different with God. He already knows though. He searches our hearts and knows where we stand. Yet he still stands waiting for us to just ask for His help. Those who sincerely desire to be filled with His Spirit and taught to follow His ways will be rewarded. If we really want what God wants for our lives and for others He will teach us and equip us. We need to want it. Whatever we lack in wisdom, God sits ready to fill us…just ask with a sincere heart. He is Truth!!!

The less we think of ourselves and the more we desire God and His ways, the more we become like Him, the more we learn of Him, and the more effective we become for Him. God is searching for some soldiers to do battle for Him. He is in the locker room asking where our heart is. He’s challenging the work force to get on board. Let’s take a gut check and ask ourselves, “Do we desire His truth in our inward parts…in our hearts, or are we just on the outside looking in?” Can we be trusted in battle?
