In the past two weeks I have undergone two heart procedures. The first, a heart catheterization, checked for significant blockage. The second, a heart ablation, removed incorrect electronic signals that caused the heart to beat irregularly. The doctors used highly sophisticated equipment to see into my heart and complete their analysis and initiate corrective treatment.
Proverbs 15:2 says, “All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit.” Just as we can look healthy on the outside, but have significant health problems inside, we can also display a healthy emotional and spiritual exterior while hiding a heart of evil. If we are hiding a heart consumed with evil, God is not fooled, because He sees our hearts clearly and judges rightly. He doesn’t need fancy equipment to know and understand our true intentions.
Don’t try to fool God by covering up your weaknesses and sin. Instead, confess your sins and accept His forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Your spirit will be much healthier as you receive new life in Jesus.
