Cross Examine Me
Listen
Transcript:
Welcome to the Month of February! Hoping that we experience new blessings breakthroughs and testimonies in every area of our lives. If we are intentional to receive from God, he will be intentional to pour himself over our lives. It is according to the measure of our thirst, hunger and desperation that God will come through for us. If we resist God and say we do not need him in certain areas of our life then He will not force himself into our lives. He will only come in if we invite Him.
Today’s scripture is a prayer by the Psalmist which takes a lot of gut to pray and when we decide to pray as such, God will come through and show us what is hidden in the deep dark crevices of our hearts and then we will be left with the reality of being able to deal with those issues and challenges left in our lives.
The third verse is a further desire that God should test and cross-examine his heart and if there was anything found dirty or harmful, he is in full awareness of Gods unfailing love. He also has lived according to the truth of God because he is inviting God. When we encounter Gods love, it will be hard to resist living according to His truth. It will begin to compel us to walk like God and according to the way the Holy Spirit wants us to. Wherever we are this moment, let us remember that Gods hand is upon us and we are not outside the cover of His hands if only we will trust Him and let Him in and when we stay with this, His unfailing Love will help us and invites His light which will, in turn, make us brand new.
Let our prayer to God today, this week and for the month be for God to cross-examine us, test our hearts and motives and ask for the grace to be aware of His unfailing love.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
