The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9
I was on my way to work and boarded the public transportation. As i sat upon the bench of the long jeep I scanned the passengers. The one facing me was a young boy, amiable and was well dressed. I was this kind of boy not so long ago, I thought to myself. Seeing another kid on my right beside me, my “spider sense” began to tingle. This boy I suspect is a thief, I said to myself silently. Look at his dress-tattered and a little dirty. He was busy texting in his obsolete and cheap celphone…and seem to have a problem…probably money.
Suddenly in a flash my bad thought against the boy seem to have been caught by something in me, it beam its light on my evil thought. I was ashamed of my thought; i was reminded of the deceitfulness of my heart. Lord, I said, forgive me. Despite Your Truth and Word in my heart- it is still bad- my inner core had a tendency to judge and condemn. In a flash again the words of the Apostle James filtered and run to and fro in my brain…
James 2:2-4 if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool.Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
My deceitful heart infused with the Spirit of God-infuse with His HOLY WORD have to bow down decrease with the Holy cleansing and sanctifying of His Perfect word-my Lord Jesus…
John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you…
