Four Requests of Psalmist: (vs. 23-24)
- Search me, O God, and know my heart
- Test me and know my anxious thoughts
- See if there is any wicked way in me
- Lead me in the way everlasting
God knows what you do. He knows where you go. He knows who you are and what you think. He knows what you love and desire. Since you can not fool God because He knows everything, you cannot flee from God because He is everywhere. You cannot fight him because He is powerful. What you must do is to surrender to Him in humility, in reverence and in worship.
Ask God to search your thoughts and try your ways so that you can walk in the right path that brings glory to His name.[:]
