The Father’s Trustworthiness: He Sees Past Our Putrid Selves

February 5, 2016 Posted by Margo Fieseler Devotionals

“The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out.

   But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things.
    I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be.”
Jeremiah 17:9, 10 MSG
Aren’t you glad that God can get to the root of things? That means He digs deep. He is able to get past all the dirt and expose the root.
He can see through your exterior, your facade, right into your heart and mind. And that’s a very good thing, as the Prophet Jeremiah tells us, “the heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle no one can figure out.”
But God can! He gets to the human heart…your mind, will and emotions! And thankfully God can and does, as no one else is able to change the human heart but God!
Quite frankly, we would be hopelessly dark and deceitful without God initiating the search and rescue of our heart and mind. He sees through all the pretenses. He already knows the solution to the puzzle.
So when you pretend to be “right” with God, remember He has already searched your heart and mind. He treats you as you really are…no matter how much you pretend to be okay. You’re trying to convince yourself that  your heart and mind are basically good. But the acceptance that your heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, and ONLY GOD can get to the heart of a human, specifically, your heart…is VICTORY!
Only then can God go to work…digging deep…revealing the wickedness and deceit in your heart. He is changing hearts and minds into His!!

FROM THE COMMUNUTY

Yesterday my mom fell again walking outdoors at her apartment…She is okay & was released from hospital after a few hours. On the drive to West Bend after we got the call…I found complete peace just loving my God & knowing He was in control of the situation no matter what it was. And then reading your devotion today made my heart cry out with a love for Him that can’t be put into words.
Thank you & thank you & thank you for listening & obeying the Lord.
