Kaga Bandoro “…a good shepherd, the careful manager, will from time to time make a careful examination of each individual sheep…This is a most searching process entailing every intimate detail. It is, too, a comfort to the sheep for only in this way can its hidden problems be laid bare before the shepherd.
http://theglutengal.com/2009/01/15/ This is what is meant in Psalm 139: 23,24 when the psalmist wrote, “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
If we allow it, if we submit to it, God by His Word will search us. There will be no “pulling the wool over His eyes.” He will get below the surface, behind the front of our old self-life and expose things that need to be made right.”
