HOW'S YOUR HEART?
by Le'Dee D
Jeremiah 17:9-10 (CJB) “9 The heart is more deceitful than anything else and mortally sick. Who can fathom it? 10 I, Adonai, search the heart; I test inner motivations; in order to give to everyone what his actions and conduct deserve.”
No matter how good we "think" we are, or how good we think our "intentions and motives" are, when it comes down to it, ONLY THE LORD KNOWS our heart and our inner motivations and it is HIS WORD that reveals our true HEART CONDITION. Hebrews 4:12 (CEV) says:
"What God has said isn’t only alive and active! It is sharper than any double-edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and through our joints and marrow, until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts."
This is why we must WALK IN THE WORD every day, all day so that our hearts can be revealed and healed by the SWORD OF GOD'S WORD. We must PRAY every day "create in me a clean heart and renew the right spirit in me"(Psalm 51:10) so that we can live HEALTHY SPIRITUAL LIVES and hear HIM say "Well done thou GOOD and FAITHFUL servant" on Judgment Day! When you do your Bible research on what words will be spoken on Judgment Day, you will notice that out of all of these words spoken on the Day of Judgment, only 1 speaks to ACTIONS (done) but 4 speak to CHARACTER & QUALITY (well, good, faithful, servant). Thus it behooves us to learn here that it's not enough to just be "DOING" the work of the Lord but we must also be "BEING" the work of the Lord, i.e. HIS WORKMANSHIP, HIS NEW CREATION! [see Ephesians 2:10; II Corinthians 5:17]
So how about it? Have you had your heart examined in the LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD today? If not, PAUSE FOR STATION IDENTIFICATION right now, OPEN the WORD of God, and get your HEART CHECK-UP! I recommend the Book of Proverbs....read a chapter each day and you'll keep heart sickness away! I've done it for the last 30 years and the Word surely heals & works! \0/ Hallelujah!

Jeremiah 17:9-10 (AMP)
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely, mortally sick! Who can know it [perceive, understand, be acquainted with his own heart and mind]?
10 I the Lord search the mind, I try the heart, even to give to every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
