In My Heart

“Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?” Mark 2:8

I am sure the scribes were aghast that Jesus knew exactly what they were thinking. We can be sure that God knows what’s in our hearts as well. Even if we fool ourselves into thinking we are searching for the truth, we want God to be first in our lives, we can’t deceive God.  

What are we reading? What are we watching? What do we spend our money on? What do we use our time for? Who do we admire? The answers to these questions will tell us exactly what is important to us. Can we say that God and God’s ways are important to us if we don’t even open His Word? God knows what we are thinking and what is valuable to us. We should too.
