HEART THAT'S NOT RIGHT

Guarding the heart against selfish desires by acknowledging Christ and allowing Him to direct our paths with all diligence, is necessary; "for, out of it flows the issues of life" (Prov. 3:6 & 4:23). Defiling it at all with selfish desires and evil intentions makes it not right in the sight of God, "for out of the abundance of the heart, a person speaks," and this overflow reveals his intentions (Luke 6:45).
Further, the lustful desire for positions of honor and respect is against the will of our Heavenly Father who, "searches the hearts and tests the minds of everyone, to give to each person according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds" (Jer. 17:10, Rom. 8:27). So, we should endeavor to keep our hearts, "right in the sight of God," and pure to stay deserving of the abundance of His Grace, Power, and Love, revealed by the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in our lives (Matt. 5:8).

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Ever-Gracious and Loving God, for making my heart right with You, through the revelation of Your Word and the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, which keeps me guided by grace to live according to Your Divine will. Please continue to completely protect my thoughts from defilement so I may always remain deserving of Your presence and anointing, in Jesus' Name.
Amen.


From Acts 8:21
