Dear Friends,
It is commanded in the Bible (II Corinthians 13:5) yet we cannot do it
by ourselves as the Bible and today’s attached devotional makes clear.
Where can we go for help. Meditate on today’s devotional. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Psalm 139:23 (ESV)

  Search me, O God, and know my heart!
  Try me and know my thoughts!

“Search me, O God, my actions try,

And let my life appear

As seen by Thine all-searching eye;

To mine my ways make clear.

Search all my sense and know my heart,

Who only canst make known,

And let the deep, the hidden part

To me be fully shown.

Throw light into the darkened cells

Where passion reigns within;

Quicken my conscience till it feels

The loathsomeness of sin.

Search all my thoughts, the secret springs,

The motives that control,

The chambers where polluted things

Hold empire o’er my soul.

Search, till Thy fiery glance has cast

Its holy light through all,

And I by grace am brought at last

Before Thy face to fall.

Thus prostrate I shall learn of Thee

Who now I feebly prove,

That God alone in Christ can be

Unutterable love.”
