Isn’t it strange that we can sometimes be wrong…about OURSELVES?
We sometimes don’t know ourselves as much as we think we do.

1. Sin Clouds Our Vision

When we ask for God to uncover our sin, the Holy Spirit reveals the things of our life that break our Father's Heart

Yada- The Hebrew word for "know" to have an intimate knowing relationship.
This is so important because, apart from it, we can't experience real Holiness- which is, ultimately, what God wants for us.

2. When God Saturates, Holiness Radiates.

Salvation and Holiness illustration
Chocolate Milk
Our Life- Glass of regular white milk in a glass
Salvation- Chocolate syrup poured into the milk sitting at the bottom of the glass. The presence of the chocolate alters the taste of the milk a little, but one wouldn't say, "It's chocolate milk"
Holiness- When the Chocolate is stirred and overwhelms the white milk. You no longer see the "regular milk," instead it's now a new creation. It has a whole new taste.

When we ask God to search, test and uncover our sin, we are asking God to stir our hearts and make us Holy.

David desired the presence of God and in this prayer, he sought to eradicate anything in his own life that might destroy that life-giving relationship.

3. Hidden Sin doesn't Exist

There is no such thing as Hidden sin, so why keep it from the one who already knows.
Asking God to examine our own heart allows us to pursue God's will.

Bottom Line:
Seeking insight from the divine within reveals the masterpiece where His will begins

The more we allow God to chisel away our sin, the more we will be formed into His image, His original masterpiece.
