Week 2 Intro: Search Me O God

Casting Crowns sings a chorus called “Here’s my heart Lord."  It captures the essence of our dependence on God and His Spirit to show us truth. The Bible tells us that our life is but a vapor and soon is gone. Also, that the thoughts of men and women are foolishness to God almighty.

We intuitively know these things are true, but become arrogant or self-absorbed when we compare ourselves to those around us. Although these people may be accomplished, the real standard we should seek to model ourselves after is that of Christ. The only way to understand the example that Christ set is to truly know the mind of God, which is only possible through open and honest conversation with Him (prayer).

Throughout this week, leave the opinions of family, friends and others, and instead cling to Christ through the Holy Spirit, so that you may truly know His will in your life. Pray through the Scripture passage above, and listen.
