Psalm 26 is called a Psalm of Vindication.

Verse 1 and 2;

V1:Vindicate me Lord, because I have lived with integrity and have trusted in the Lord without  wavering”.

Is Our Lives what they ought to be? Let Our Lord and Our Friend examine our  minds {our intellect} and hearts {our core being}.

V2: “Test me< Lord, and try me; examine my heart and mind”.

Psalm 139 verse 23 and 24;

V 23: “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns”.

V 24: “See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the everlasting way”.

Test us Lord in everything we do, in our walking, in our working, in our resting, are we keeping ourselves clean.

There are times when God allows the enemy to attack us and test us, just to make us, take time for a personal inventory.

These are the times when we can have a pity parties, but if our Focus is set right, our Focus will be on The Lord. There is a time when we match our defects with Hid perfections and claim what we need from Him.

Remember Job 1 verse 8: The Lord said to Satan: “Have you considered my servant Job?” “No one else on earth is like Him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil”.

Examine ourselves to make God proud. He is no respecter of persons, but He does acknowledge those who are doing their best for Him.

The enemy wants nothing better to upset us and get us on a detour from God. Continue to walk with The Lord and serve Him, He is always with us.

God will vindicate us in His time, and in His own way.

Examine ourselves often to know that nothing can take us away from our walk and our communion with Our Lord and Our Friend.

God Bless.
