Living Waters: Refreshing Truths from Scripture

WEDNESDAY, 16 JULY 2025

 

TEXT: Psalm 17:1-15

 

TOPIC: CAN YOU WITHSTAND GOD’S PROBE?

 

Psalm 17 was written from the ashes of fourth degree slander when the Psalmist's life was in danger.

 

In his prayers, he asked for justice, deliverance and condemnation of those who falsely accused him of wrongdoing.

 

He activated his prayers with these three synonyms of verbs addressed to the Lord: "hear me, listen, and give ear..."

 

These synonyms showcase David's assurance and confidence that God will hear and answer his prayers because he did not cherish sin in his heart.

 

The Psalmist had the confidence to ask God to probe, examine and test his heart.

 

He assured him that evil plans bribery, deceitful lips and keeping company of violent people would not be found lurking in his heart.

 

In other words, David affirmed that affirmed the confidence that his life was an open book which God could examine and find no guilt therein.

 

QUESTION: Can you withstand God's probe?

 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I don't have the courage to invite You to inspect my heart. I am afraid You might discover an abominable content. Please have mercy on me, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Remain Blessed
