Heart of my Heart




The Bible says:


Psalm 139:24

Search me O God and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.


Now that's a great attitude! But I wonder, do we know ourselves as well as we think we do? Isn't it possible that no matter how great our mindset is, we just might have a problem we don't realize? Consider Job. There was a perfect and upright man, but he had just one (or perhaps more that we don't know about) flaw... He was just a bit too confident in his own perfectness. He had forgotten that the heart of being righteous was having a humble relationship with God Almighty. When God confronted him, he understood and changed his Attitude. There is an example! No one can be perfect, but we CAN have a correct relationship with God through HIS SON JESUS. If we listen to the Heart of God put on Earth for us, then we will be led to the way of everlasting. Just as the mother above is close to her baby, so will we be when we seek THE SON OF GOD.
