Video of the Day: Trailer for the 1993 movie “The Pelican Brief”
Bible Verse of the Day:
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.24 See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting, Psalm 139:23-24.
Biblical Connection:
Julia Roberts plays Darby Shaw, a young law student who takes an active interest in current events. As Darby applies her knowledge of law to the death of two Supreme Court justices, she turns her theory into a brief. This search for the truth leads Darby into danger as the people she trusts begin to die. When you get close to the truth, evil is threatened to be exposed.
David is referring to a different kind of search. David’s words serve as a prayer to God exposing any unholy aspects in his life. This search for truth is an internal struggle detailed by the apostle Paul in Galatians 5:16-17. To combat these sinful desires, Paul encouraged the Ephesians to put on the armor of God, Ephesians 6:13. This is the search for spiritual truth.
Closing Song:
The lyrics to In the Light serve as a daily reminder of the temptations that exist in life. However, if you hunger and thirst for spiritual truth, you’ll be on your way toward seeking God like King David.
