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 />
