Get Your Heart Right -2 Chronicles 25:2Note 'but not with a perfect heart' deals with motives and hidden falsehood in the heart. Jeremiah said that the heart is deceptive above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it? But God Searches our hearts. Judas kissed the master but not of love but betrayal. on-lookers must have thought otherwise, but Jesus was not deceived. Many deceive themselves thinking they can deceive God, no not even with beautifully worded songs. Amazaih's imperfection of heart sooner than later manifested vs 14 ''Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them'' and 27 ''Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there''. Jesus warned his disciples not to be like the pharisees who stand in the market places making long prayer for show.
Prayer is supposed to be fellowship with God through the holy spirit, but it can be for mere religion and showmanship - so also fasting, giving and every christian service. Set your heart in order and be sure of your motives.
Questions
1. How can i know if my motive is wrong or right
2. Who do you seek to impress with your actions, men, self or God
3.Can you remember past actions of yours that though right was not with a perfect heart
Prayers
O Lord God, My father, I ask for Grace to adjust my actions to always be from a right motive so I will always please you and attract your blessing. Create inme a perfect heart and renew the right Spirit within me in Jesus name.
