WEIGH MY HEART

God cannot be fooled. It seems ridiculous to say it, but I have tried; self-justification is such a fundamental element of the human condition that we are blind to its techniques. Strangely, we can see unhealthy self-exoneration in others with pinpoint accuracy yet struggle to see it in ourselves. As Scripture declares: “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes”. Feigned piety is no help at all with God since He cannot be fooled and it is nothing more than another form of self-generated fraud. The triple-punch of Scripture, Spirit and covenant fellowship with serious believers can purge us of self-deception. Iron sharpens iron. Lord, weigh my heart. Shine Your Light throughout my soul and help me take my finger off the scale.
