CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE<br />
S<strong>in</strong>ce then, I have cont<strong>in</strong>ually asked God to<br />
let me see what my heart is like. The moment<br />
you th<strong>in</strong>k you know, God has a way of surpris<strong>in</strong>g<br />
you.<br />
The heart is deceitful above all th<strong>in</strong>gs,<br />
And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I,<br />
the Lord, search the heart, I test the m<strong>in</strong>d,<br />
Even to give every man accord<strong>in</strong>g to his ways,<br />
Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the fruit of his do<strong>in</strong>gs (Jer. 17:9-<br />
10).<br />
The Lord will reveal to us the very <strong>in</strong>tents of<br />
the heart. He knows what we say and why we<br />
say it. He cannot be fooled.<br />
As for you, my son Solomon, know the God<br />
of your father, and serve Him with a loyal<br />
heart and with a will<strong>in</strong>g m<strong>in</strong>d; For the Lord<br />
searches all hearts and understands all the<br />
<strong>in</strong>tent of the thoughts (1 Chr. 28:9).<br />
God cont<strong>in</strong>ually searches our hearts and<br />
knows our motives and <strong>in</strong>tentions. He knows the<br />
very framework of our thoughts. God, out of <strong>His</strong><br />
love for us, will confront us with the condition of<br />
our hearts. What is great is that He doesn't just<br />
leave us hang<strong>in</strong>g with that revelation. He will<br />
reveal it so He can heal it. Your responsibility is<br />
to guard your heart so it's not polluted aga<strong>in</strong>.<br />
Keep your heart with all diligence, For out<br />
of it spr<strong>in</strong>g the issues of life (Prov. 4:23).<br />
What a powerful thought: Guard your heart.<br />
People buy expensive security systems to guard<br />
th<strong>in</strong>gs like cars and jewelry and forget about<br />
their most valuable asset—their hearts.<br />
Everyth<strong>in</strong>g I am and everyth<strong>in</strong>g I say will<br />
