Four words in Acts 15:8 provide a powerful reminder of why being godly is such a good idea.
“God knows people’s hearts.”
These four words give us a serious dose of accountability for our thoughts and attitudes.
The Apostle Paul called us in Romans 12:1-2 to seek the renewing of our minds and the above snippet from the Bible reminds us of why a faith-focused mind is so important.
We’re not slipping anything past God.
The four words not only can help us to stay on the straight and narrow path, but they can also direct us away from seeking “payback” against those who hassle or harm us.
If we know that God knows the motives of our antagonist, we’ll be more likely to resist obsessing about getting even, choosing instead to let the Supreme Being of the universe take care of responding to our being treated unjustly.
What does God know about your heart today?
Is He smiling? Or frowning?
Does He see that He is adored? Or ignored?
Fill your heart with a passion for praise, prayer and purposeful living.
We know that God will be pleased with those things.
As always, I love you
Martin
