(Psalm 44:21 NKJV) Would not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
Let us talk about the heart today.
When we go before God in our prayers on a daily basis, He doesn’t only look at all the nice things we have done for others. It’s good that we do those things and show God’s love through our actions, but when it comes to God He looks at our heart condition. And that is what our first and foremost concern should be.
Knowing this today, we all need to take a good look at our heart and the secrets within. We need to do this, taking our eyes off the things we do for others, because what happens is that we take what we do for others and make that our identity. And this can overwhelm us, robbing us of the time we need to deal with the things in our own lives. This can cause us to never address the changes we need to make in order to improve our own heart condition.
For example; we are out in the world daily. Someone comes up to us and says some things to us and we smile and agree with them and shake their hand or even give them a hug.
Our outward expression can be a whole lot different then the way we are actually feeling on the inside. On the inside, we are thinking and feeling something completely different. This is what we need to pay attention to… what we are thinking on the inside, but not outwardly expressing. Those are secrets.
Let us carefully and prayerfully watch our inside thoughts and feelings today. Examine ourselves as we work with others and through out the day. We will begin to notice our own heart. That is what God sees… the secrets of our heart.
