Jeremiah 17:9

Jeremiah 17:9 tells us that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it ? The next verse starts out by answering the question. 'I the Lord ....'.

Sometimes we can actually deceive ourselves into thinking something is right when it is not . Sometimes it may not be the actual ' act' , but the ' motive ' behind it. That is why it is so important to pray this prayer from the 139 Psalm. Only God can give us an honest assessment of our ' motives behind our actions.

Heb. 4 : 12-13 tells us that the Word is' a discernment of the thoughts and intents of the heart' and that ' all things are naked and opened to the eyes of the one we must give account to. If we are truly serious about worshiping and serving in ' spirit and in truth' we must continue to go to God with this prayer from Psalm 139.
