05.07.25 | God, Search My Heart | HEART ANCHOR | Youth Devotional
05.07.25 | God, Search My Heart | HEARTANCHOR
Watch over your inner life – for from it, life is shaped
Psalm 139:23–24
──────────────── ────────────────
Bible Text
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
— Psalm 139:23–24
──────────────── ────────────────
Introduction
Many prayers are safe.
“Lord, bless me.”
“Help me with my exam.”
“Protect my family.”
Such requests are good – but they don’t challenge us.
Psalm 139:23–24 is different.
This prayer is bold – almost dangerous. Why?
Because you’re asking God to uncover your inner self.
Not what others see – but what even you might try to ignore.
──────────────── ────────────────
Devotion – A Prayer That Changes Everything
David speaks these words at the end of a song about God’s closeness.
He knows: God sees everything. Every thought. Every motive. Every hidden corner of our hearts.
But instead of running from that, David says:
“Search me… test me… lead me!”
He’s essentially saying:
“Show me what’s wrong in me – and change it.”
That takes humility. And courage.
Because if we’re honest, we often hold onto harmful things – simply because they feel familiar.
But God is calling you to a better way.
Ellen White wrote:
“When Christ abides in the heart, the thought of His sacrifice will check every unholy emotion.”
(Early Writings, p. 94)

Story – The Buried Mirror
A teenager named Elias had an old, scratched mirror in his room. He didn’t like it much. Every time he looked into it, he saw pimples, tired eyes, and mess.
One day, he took the mirror and shoved it up in the attic – “out of sight, out of mind.”
But something was missing.
Without the mirror, he couldn’t really get ready. No final check before heading out. No honest reflection of what was really going on.
A good friend told him:
“You can hide from it, but you won’t change. The mirror only shows what’s already there – and what can be changed.”
Elias brought the mirror back.
He cleaned it.
He began looking into it honestly – not with self-hate, but with a desire to grow.
God’s truth is like that mirror.
It doesn’t just show you what is – it also reveals what can be.
──────────────── ────────────────
Thoughts – What Does This Mean for You?
Asking God to search your heart doesn’t mean you have to be perfect.
It means you want to be real.
You’re tired of playing a role. Tired of hiding.
Jesus says:
“The truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
It starts with the courage to be honest.
──────────────── ────────────────
Reflections for Today
Stand in front of God’s mirror:
Read Psalm 139:23–24 slowly tonight – and truly ask God to search your heart.
Write down what moves you:
Are there thoughts, feelings, or habits that aren’t good for you? Write them down honestly.
Ask for change – not from pressure, but from trust:
God doesn’t want to shame you – He wants to restore you.
Trust the process:
Inner change is a journey. But it starts with one honest step.
──────────────── ────────────────
Prayer
Lord,
you see my heart – more clearly than I ever could.
You know my fears, my hidden thoughts, my weaknesses.
Search me. Show me what’s not good in me – what keeps me from you.
And let me feel your love as you do – the love that lifts, not condemns.
Help me be honest with myself. And transform me from the inside out.
Lead me on your path – the path of life.
Amen.

Sabbath: The Burning Bush
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 5th of July 2025
Read for This Week’s Study: Exodus 18:3-4; Exodus 3:1-22; Genesis 22:11,15-18; Exodus 6:3; Joel 2:32; Exodus 4:1-31; Genesis 17:10-11.
Memory Text:
“And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey’ ” (Exodus 3:7-8, NKJV).
God’s call to us will often change the direction of our lives. However, if we follow that call, then we discover that God’s path is always the best route for us. However, sometimes—at first—it isn’t easy to accept God’s call.
Such is the case for Moses and his call by God, which specifically began at the encounter with the Lord at the burning bush. Although Moses may or may not have known about the laws of combustion, he knew that what he was seeing was a miracle, and it certainly caught his attention. No question, the Lord was calling him to a specific task. The issue was: Would he answer the call, regardless of the radical new change in his life that this call would bring? At first, he was not very receptive to it.
You may recall instances when you had specific goals, but God redirected those plans. It is true that we can be useful to God in many ways, but following God’s call in our lives, and doing what He leads us to do, is surely the path to the most satisfying existence. It might not always be easy, and it wasn’t easy for Moses, but how foolish to go our own way when God is calling us in another direction.

GC Session 2025 | President’s Report by GC President Ted Wilson
Over the past few years, the world has seen incredible shifts, crowded cities growing busier, quiet places facing new challenges, and hearts everywhere searching for hope. Through it all, God is at work, moving powerfully in the lives of both the seen and the unseen. Around the globe, church members—young and old—are reaching out, sharing the love of Christ in practical ways. From vibrant city ministries to quiet acts of kindness in remote villages, God’s people are answering His call to bring encouragement, compassion, and the message of Jesus’ soon return. We’ve seen stories of faith, testimonies of transformation, and lives changed through the Holy Spirit’s leading. Even in times of uncertainty, God’s mission moves forward, uniting us in prayer, in purpose, and in the hope that anchors us. As we look back and look ahead, may we press together in unity, ready to serve and ready to share, as we wait for that glorious day when every eye will see Him.
