"God Knows My Heart"

As I read this passage, I thought about the state of our country. I thought about how divided we are. Unfortunately, I was not thinking about the citizenry in general. I was thinking only about Christians. 

We all claim to serve the same God, but our behavior says otherwise. The Bible says, “God is love.” The Bible says the we are created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, the essence of who we are must be love if we are truly following Christ. 

This is an agape type of love. This is an unconditional love freely given to all. Yet, I witness many of us Christians condemning people, dishonoring God by our behavior, while justifying it by saying, “God knows my heart.” It saddens me. 

Let’s pray for each other and hold each other accountable. Everything we do is known by God. We will not “get away with it,” so let’s straighten up and fly right. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Psalm 9:15-18

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. 16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. 17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God. 18 But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
