The Gesenius&#8217; Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon suggests that the &#8220;primary idea is perhaps that of searching in the earth by digging&#8221; which means uncovering that which is below the surface.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What will God see if He searches your heart?

Rather, as Strong&#8217;s Concordance suggests, the idea is testing our thoughts like metals which means putting them through fire, of sorts, to identify any that are not strong enough to endure.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What will God find if He tests your thoughts? Are there strongholds of doubts, insecurities, stress, and anxieties that need to be purged from your mind?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Result of God&#8217;s Searching and Testing<\/h2>\n<p>Through the searching and testing process, God becomes thoroughly acquainted with who we are on the inside &#8212; &#8220;search &#8230; and know my heart&#8221; &#8220;test &#8230; and know my anxious thoughts&#8221;. The prayer of the psalmist wasn&#8217;t, however, that God simply knew his inner being but that He acted based on what He saw. The psalmist wanted God to take him from where he was to where he should be, to root out offensive ways in him and then transform him from the inside out.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are you willing to submit to God in these ways?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previously we noted that who we are can affect the way we serve.
