Ezra 8:1-36; Daniel 9:1-27; Revelation 4:1-11
The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind… Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed. Jeremiah 17:9-10, 14, NKJV
The word of God is living and powerful…and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12, NKJV
Never underestimate the power of the Scriptures! Through them the true condition of our hearts is revealed. They discern the thoughts and intents of our heart better than we do ourself. Our daily time in God’s Word will help us to see our flaws and transgressions. With repentance and confession, the Lord will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. —E. C. B.
Like a mighty rock undaunted ’mid the raging storms of time,
The Bible stands eternal, and it glows with a light sublime.—R. Hamilton
