He Sees Every Heart – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional December 14th

(God Sees What Others Don’t See)

TO THE BIBLE: Luke 16:15 TPT
“…You always want to look spiritual in the eyes of others, but you have forgotten the eyes of God, which see what is inside you. The very things that you approve of and applaud are the things God despises.”

LET’S TALK
Sometimes, certain people get promoted, honored, and respected by others. But while people might praise and elevate them on the outside, it’s God who truly knows what’s in their heart.

Luke 16:15 says that what is highly valued by people can be detestable in God’s eyes.

Take the story of Haman, for example. He was a special adviser to King Ahasuerus in the Persian Empire and was greatly respected because he occupied a top position in the government. But his heart was full of hatred and evil intentions.

Haman’s wickedness showed in his intense hatred for Mordecai, a Jewish man who refused to bow down to him.

He even plotted to kill not only Mordecai but all the Jews in the entire realm, and he convinced the king to make a decree to annihilate them.

But through the prayers of the Jews, God stopped his evil plans, and in the end, Haman faced the consequences of his wickedness.

Jeremiah 17:10 reminds us that God searches the heart and examines the mind. He sees people as they truly are, not as they pretend to be.

Similarly, 1 Samuel 16:7 tells us that God looks beyond outward appearances and sees the heart.

So, as you go through life, be mindful of your heart and intentions. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can deceive God because the Bible says He cannot be mocked.

Let your heart be filled with His righteousness, love, and compassion because that’s what matters most to God.
