God Searches Our Hearts And Minds

Psalms 7:9’Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.’

Some of the super-duper looters (government ministers) have said: ‘watch, I will come out clean.’ Well, we see umpteen of such cases right from the parliament to the common man, but I want to state here that God tests your mind and heart. He knows everything and judgment would surely come!

There are men who think that God just watches only the daring and glaring sins but turns a blind eye to the others. Not so, let me very clearly point out that He watches all! God is watching when you evade payment of income tax, God watches the black money stacked in your kitty, He watches when you wickedly connive and claim money from your company through false bills and vouchers. He watches when you stretch your hand to give/receive bribe, He watches when you lie and curse, He watches when your eyes rove lustfully on dirty things, He watches when you speak on your mobile and also when you chat on the Face Book. May be you ask, ‘is that wrong Bala?’ Come on, you know the answer to that one, right? Be holy/sincere at all times! Doing such things at your office is also wrong. Extended lunch breaks/tea breaks/ wastage of office time are all an abomination to the Lord. He watches over you! Beware! Anybody listening? David said (Psalm 139:1) ‘O LORD, You have searched me and known me.’

Married men/women listen to God’s voice today! When you chat long with someone or when you email a person regularly or when you send 1000 sms to a person other than your spouse; watch out, you may be unconsciously treading into prohibited area. Never ever have any close relationship outside marriage. This would surely, surely lead you to sin, be 100 percent sure on this. I receive testimonies everyday of these devotions delivering people from the subtle ways of the devil. Even if your marriage may not be going great guns, but never allow satan to take you to the path of adultery. The only way to circumvent this problem is to get close to Jesus. Pray and ask God to heal your marriage rather than straying away from the right path. Youth leaders! You watch out too! Even when you are presenting the Gospel, never give room for satan to corrupt your mind. Let holiness be on your mind all the time. Let me quote the words of David to his son Solomon:1 Chronicles 28:9 ‘As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.’ Beware!

Whatever Christian denomination you may belong to, check your heart today and correct yourself, read the Bible carefully and know the Truth. The Lord said:”……I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.” (Revelation 2:23)
