Let’s read Psalm 139:
1, 2(CEV) & Proverbs 3: 5-7(CEV)
“You
have looked deep into my heart, Lord, and you know all about me. You know when I am resting or when I am
working, and from heaven you
discover my thoughts”
“With
all your heart you must trust
the Lord
and not your own judgment. Always let
him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow. Don’t ever think that you
are wise enough, but respect the Lord and stay away from evil”
Over the years, NASA
has launched a series of “Explorer” spacecrafts into the space, mainly for
exploration, observation & to gather information etc. These spacecrafts or artificial satellites are
sent as deep (out) into the space as possible to “know the unknown”.
While man endeavours to
gaze higher and higher from his point of origin – the earth, God has since
creation been looking deeper and deeper into the point of origin of all corruption
and wickedness – the heart. While man needs spacecrafts or artificial
satellites to explore the “unknown”, God does not need any “equipment” for His exploration;
He looks deep into your heart straight down from Heaven…!
God knows EVERYTHING
about you. He knows your every move. He knows that you are reading this message
right now. He knows all of your thoughts and all of your subsequent attitudes &
actions.
God’s certification of
your character is based on the status of your heart and not that of your mind.
You can use all the knowledge & understanding you have to be “righteous”
and “acceptable” in the sight of men, but to be certified as “righteous” in the
sight of God you need to be pure and faith-filled in your heart.
“Well
then, what can we say about our ancestor Abraham? If he
became acceptable to God because of what he did, then he would have something
to brag about. But he would never be able to brag about it to God. The Scriptures say, “God accepted Abraham because Abraham had
faith in him.” (Romans 4: 1-3CEV)
Hence, don’t ever fool
yourself by thinking that you are wise enough to lead a “balanced” & “acceptable”
life by using your own understanding. “Always let Him lead you...”
Never forget that God’s
spacecraft (His sight) is "exploring" your heart ALWAYS..!!
