Heart Trouble

“Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men? No, in your heart your work unrighteousness; on earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.” Psalm 59:1-2

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” Matthew 23:25-28

God is not deceived by our carefully-woven political intrigues. We may fool others, but the Lord always looks at our heart. And all of us are dying of heart trouble. Isn't it a blessing that we know the Great Physician and can rest in His care!

Run to God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
