Proverbs 12:2 says “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts.” — It’s human instinct to feel as though we’re good people, but truth is God knows our own hearts more than we do https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat">... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏿" title="Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏿" title="Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏿" title="Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)">
Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"— Naturally the human heart is wicked and deceitfulhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😓" title="Face with cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Face with cold sweat"> — That’s why Jesus also emphasised on loving one another because the heart of man is naturally doesn’t show lovehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😣" title="Persevering face" aria-label="Emoji: Persevering face">(Mark 22:39https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📖" title="Open book" aria-label="Emoji: Open book">)
This is also why David cried out to God in Psalm 51:10 and said “ Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” — David knew his heart was naturally deceitful so he prayed for God to mould his heart into a heart that was after Godhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Eyes">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏿" title="Folded hands (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (dark skin tone)">
That’s why God then referred David to as “life A man after my own heart” — We should never get to a point of self-righteousness.. Rather we should constantly pray for God to renew our hearts. Don’t put confidence in your own heart. Because that is how pride can often creeps inhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face">
It’s time we stop being self-righteous in your own eyes, because that is when we open the door for pride & other bad behaviourshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😓" title="Face with cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Face with cold sweat">... Lastly, always pray for God to renew your heart daily !! Tell God to renew your spirit daily !! Let’s put away with our deceitful hearts https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏿" title="Folded hands (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (dark skin tone)">
