Bible Verse of The Day – 10-30-17

Jeremiah 17:9-10 (NKJV) 9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings. 

Have you ever wondered why some people do the things they do? 

Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? 

As followers of Christ, we should always want to do what pleases God. Our desires should be to live righteously and follow in the footsteps of Jesus himself. 

Sometimes we get it right. Other times we fail miserably. We wonder why. And we ask how this can happen when we want so badly to do the right thing. 

It’s a heart thing. 

You see, without being renewed by God’s spirit, our hearts are deceitful and wicked. Oh, they may make us think they want to do right. But when push comes to shove, if our heart isn’t sanctified and led by the Holy Spirit, it will make the wrong choice almost every time. 

We need God to cleanse our heart. There is no way around it. This is why David cried out to God after he had sinned with another man’s wife. 

Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 

David recognized the wickedness in his heart and repented before God. 

So, let’s do as David did and ask God today, right now, to cleanse our hearts and remove the wickedness from them. 

Let’s ask Him to lead us by His spirit. 

He is faithful to do what we ask Him to do. Amen.
