“7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” ” I Samuel 16:7
What does GOD see when HE looks at your heart?
Let’s not assume that the condition of our hearts are acceptable to GOD. The condition of my heart powerfully impacts the quality of the life that I will lead. The condition of your heart powerfully impacts the quality of the life that you wil lead.
Only the pure in heart shall see GOD. This is true about when we who have accepted JESUS CHRIST as Savior meet GOD face to face in eternity. What about right now in time? I need to “see” GOD now. When I refer to seeing GOD in time, I am referring to several things including comprehending and experiencing GOD to the fullest extent that GOD has made it possible for me to know and experience GOD while I am in time. I want to hear GOD and to be heard by GOD. What about you?
If so:
1) Ask GOD to reveal the condition of your heart. Respond to what GOD reveals.
2) “10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 (KJV)
Ask GOD to create in you a clean heart. (Pray this no matter what you think about the condition of your heart. Humbling yourself before GOD is powerful. There may be things that you do not know. Do what it takes to be in proper position with GOD.)
Each of us is wise to give attention to the condition of our heart. It’s worth it.
