Qualified in Every Way

 “Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my reins and my heart.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭26:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Here in David’s psalm he asks YHWH to examine him and test him and to judge his desires and thoughts.  It is the Lord Who examines us and no one else, not even ourselves, to expose our sin and to show the extent of our sin.  It is not our diligence but the Lord Who does all the revealing.  If we examine ourselves, we will not be able to see our true state as the Lord sees us.  Only the Lord Jesus can reveal to us the proper way to deal with sin because He identified with it at the Cross in exchange for His righteousness.  So when Paul asks us to examine ourselves when we partake of the Body and Blood of Jesus, it is to take His broken Body and receive His wholeness in us, His shed Blood in exchange of our sin for His forgiveness and righteousness.  This proper way of dealing with sickness, disease and sin is the result of an intimate relationship with Christ Whose passion it is to heal us and make us whole, to make us righteous and forgiven and not condemned and hopeless.  Let’s establish the right attitude and intimate relationship with Jesus, the Lover of our soul, so we walk in the confidence, liberty and victory magnifying Christ and His finished work Who qualified us in every way.  Hallelujah!
