I read Psalm 17:3 this morning, and, I admit it, I was pretty resistant to this verse. I'm not sure I feel like challenging God to look so closely at me because I'm convinced he'll find me blameless! But if there's one thing I'm learning, it's that I shouldn't let resistance to a passage of Scripture keep me from taking a deeper look. So I read the whole of Psalm 17...several times ~ and I have to confess it's exactly what I needed this morning (I feel stuck between some tricky stuff at work -- and stuck between some people with whom I don't agree). Ultimately, it was the phrase "probe my heart," (from verse 3!) that resonated with me, knowing that before I get too far in judging those around me, I best have my heart probed by, revealed, and under the control of the One who loves me so much.
