Do
you realize that God probes your heart to insure nothing is hidden from him or
yourself? In a court of law, attorneys examine and cross-examine witnesses in search of the
truth. Counselors listen for thoughts and feelings to help resolve emotional
and relational conflicts. Mechanics have diagnostic tools for solving problems
with your automobile.
God searches the heart for hidden and unforgiven
sin. He examines the heart for motives that sabotage his purpose and plan. He
knows we’re capable of intentions that are contrary to his ways and in conflict
with our conscience. God checks out your heart to see if fellowship with him is
based on truth and to challenge you to live within that truth.
God scrutinizes the heart, seeking wrong motives,
thinking, and deeds that prevent growth and maturity in faith. Balaam, in
Numbers 22, recognized and confessed his sin but never repented or changed. In
contrast, David repented and begged God to create in him a clean heart. God is
capable of doing just that.
