This week has been a major heart check. It has been a reminder that the heart is the most important thing; the heart is where everything starts. God doesn’t look at the outward appearance but He looks at the heart, not just our actions but our motives and intentions. I know that my heart has not always been right and there are areas that the Lord has shown me that I need to work on. It all starts with the little things, we have to be watchful and on guard. We have to be watchful of what we put in our heart, and what we meditate on. God is such a good God, he doesn’t just tell us we are wrong and we need to fix things but he goes further and shows us what we should meditate on. Philippians 4:8 “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any raise, think on these things” When thoughts come we have the choice to take those thoughts and meditate on them or we can cast them down. I love how good God is, Psalms 130:3-4 says “If you, Lord, should keep account of and treat [us according to our] sins. O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You [just what man needs], that You may be reverently feared and worshipped.” I am so thankful that the Lord is merciful, that he is always on our side. I am thankful that he doesn’t look at my past sins and failures and judge me based on those, but he loves me and forgives me. He is patient, kind, and ever ready to believe the best, he never fails.
