TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Psalm 83-85
TEXT: If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. Psalms 66 :18.
According to our anchor text above, you will discover that sin begins from within where it is processed before it is acted. God does not access a man from the outward but searches the heart. He is no respecter of persons, whoever entertains sin in his heart has disconnect himself from God. It takes mercy and forgiven for such a one to be restored. No wonder David prayed in Psalms 51 :10 – 11; “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.”
It all begins from the heart, purity or iniquity. If the heart is clean, the body follows suit. The word of God therefore counsels, in Proverbs 4 :23; “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” When you take heed what you hear, see and ponder on, you can determine what the nature of heart would be. You cannot gaze at a sight that can corrupt your mind and not expect to pollute your heart. Why come back to cast out a spirit you can avoid? Why hang around gossips and expect your heart not to ponder on what it heard?
Philippians 4:8, says, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” This scripture gives a guideline on what to think so as to shield the heart from negative things that affects the heart and the totality of the believer’s stand before God.
I pray for you, as you take practical steps to guard your heart, your life shall be pleasing to God.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I pray now, help me to guard my heart, in Jesus name.
