The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
Devotional for February 12
Search me, O God. - Psalms 139:23
None can search the heart but God; none are desirous or willing for the heart to be searched but real Christians. A believer desires to know the worst. He dreads deception.
Grace has made him honest, and he prays, "Lord, search me." If a man was to search, he would expose, irritate, and injure us; but if God search, He will humble, strengthen, and heal us. The man who sees himself in the light of truth, and knows himself as the effect of divine searching, cannot trust himself for one moment.
He flees from self to Jesus, from law to grace; he loathes himself; and while he confidently trusts in Jesus, and rejoices in hope, he walks humbly with his God. He cannot boast, he dares not presume; but walks in holiness, and ascribes all to free grace.
Beloved, take the heart to Jesus to be searched. He says, "I am He that searcheth the hearts and trieth the reins." If He search you, He will save you from deception, self-righteousness, and every false way.
Be this your daily prayer, "Search me, O God, and lead me in the way everlasting. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me: try my reins and my heart." Let a man examine himself. You need searching.
Lord, search my heart, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere; Then shall I stand before Thy face, And find acceptance there.
"The only #people for me are the #mad ones, the ones who are mad to #live, mad to #talk, mad to be #saved, #desirous of #everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a #commonplace thing, but #burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles #exploding like spiders across the #stars and in the middle you see the blue #centerlight #pop and everybody goes “Awww!" -Jack Kerouac #Rufskin #ruflife #sportswear #athleticwear #menswear #homme #wanderlust #desert #California #love #lovelast (at Niland, California)

i had rather taste those lips,
instead of breathing
i had rather take a bite,
instead of longing
i had rather just have you,
instead of dreaming

A woman too used to her own beauty, too desirous of the forbidden. Too clever for the world.
