"I the LORD search the mind and try the heart, to give to every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings." (Jeremiah 17:10)
Dearest in Christ, good morning to you. We bring to you on this great day of the Lord glad tidings beyond human telling.
God knows it all. Our thoughts are all known to Him, our aspirations are before Him. They will all be fulfilled only if they are for our good and the glory of God.
Today, Prophet Jeremiah announced to us God's promise saying:
"I the LORD search the mind and try the heart, to give to every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings." (Jeremiah 17:10)
Let us move with faith and trust in Him. For He knows better than we do.
Indeed, "God's foolishness is wiser than man's wisdom." (cf. 1 Corinthians1:25). His attribute as "omniscience" is incomparable. Then "Why worry.?"
We have to make sincere effort to be blameless before God, for in doing this, our petitions and heart desires will be granted. Keeping in mind the words of the psalmist:
"Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord."( Psalm 119:1).
We have to put in our best in our day-to-day living, make sincere effort and above all trust in God. He will never put us to shame. He will do more than we expected, as He remains a " can do God."
Peace be with you!
Let us pray
O God, who delight in innocence and restore it, direct the hearts of your servants to yourself, that, caught up in the fire of your Spirit, we may be found steadfast in faith and effective in works. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
