Psalms 17: 2Declare me innocent, for you see those who do right. 3You have tested my thoughts and examined my heart in the night. You have scrutinized me and found nothing wrong. I am determined not to sin in what I say. 4I have followed your commands, which keep me from following cruel and evil people. 5My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you. 6I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray. 7Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies.

I was reading this chapter this morning and thinking.. can you imagine being able to say that God has tested your thoughts and found nothing wrong.. that you have not sinned in what you say................

I have to say.. for me.. I can control my actions (most times) but my thoughts and the words that I say... that is where I fall the most... even when I don't say them out loud.. I think negative thoughts about others.. I question their motives.. I say things that either don't need to be said or that are hurtful or mean... 

none of this is my intention.. and surely I am better today than I was even a month ago... I realize I do better and better at these issues... but man.. david must have really been someone wonderful to be able to say that there wasn't sin even in his mind and his words.... 

I am so thankful that God looks beyond my issues and loves me in spite of them and still continues to bless me!!
