The Lord Looks At The Heart

The Lord Looks At The Heart

By Evangeline Unity Esaaba Folson ( A.K.A Aunty Evangeline

But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him; for the Lord seeth not as many seeth. For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

Interest in the word above is centered on the phrase “but the Lord looketh on the hearth”

There are times when the whole world might find you guilty as charged. And there is no way to defend yourself. Do not lose hope for the verse above confirms, the Lord looks at the heart. He knows your begining and your ending. He knows the secrets of your heart.

He will work or put together all the good and bad events in your life and make them benefit you as Romans 8:28 says

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

What do you do whilst you wait for God to move in your life, Since He alone can see the secrets of your heart.

– Pray without ceasing

Jeremiah 33:3

1 Thessalonians 5: 17

– Live at peace with all men

Ecclesiastes 12:13

Romans 12:18

– Do not repay evil with evil

Proverbs 9:10

Romans 12: 17

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

This means pray without a break. In practice this might look impossible. You do not have to stop working or learning kneel down put your hands together or raise your hands to heaven.

As you learn, work or minister as an ambassador of Christ, says a prayer quietly

Jeremiah 33:3

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and might things, which thou knowest not

1Thessalonians 5:17

Pray without ceasing

The explanation has already been given above

LIVE AT PEACE WITH ALL MEN

Ecclesiastes 12:13

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God, and keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of men

Roman 12:18

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

The first verse quoted above is encouraging us to keep or obey God’s commandments. And the second one is asking us to live at peace with everybody. Do not fight or exchange words because of a misunderstanding. Keep quiet and allow God to speak on your behalf

DO NOT REPAY EVIL WITH EVIL

Proverbs 9:10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding

Romans 12:17

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Human nature often creates a desire for revenge sometimes but the two verses above points to the fact that there is no benefit in revenge.

It might land you in serious trouble

1Peter 5:7 says

Casting all your cares upon him; for He careth for you.

The Lord will reinstate and vindicate you.

There is a song that says

It’s the commonest feeling to be misunderstood but with you there is no concealing neither bad nor good…
