I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. — Jeremiah 17:10 KJV
“I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” — Jeremiah 17:10 NIV
Reflection on Verse for Today
As followers of Christ, we are called to live our lives in a way that reflects our faith and our love for God. We are called to be honest, kind, and compassionate, and to treat others with respect and dignity.
But it’s not just our outward behavior that matters – it’s also our inner thoughts and motivations. God knows our hearts, and He sees everything that we do. He rewards those who do what is right, and He holds accountable those who choose to do what is wrong.
So let us examine our hearts and our minds today. Let us ask God to search us and reveal any areas where we need to make changes. Let us strive to live our lives in a way that honors Him and reflects His love and grace.
Remember, our deeds have consequences – both in this life and in the eternal life to come. Let us live with the knowledge that God sees everything we do, and let us strive to do what is right in His eyes.
May God bless you and guide you as you seek to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
My Prayer
Dear God,
As I read and reflect on Jeremiah 17:10, I am reminded that you search the heart and examine the mind of each person, and you reward each one according to their conduct and deeds. Lord, I come before you today with a humble and contrite heart, asking you to search me and reveal any areas where I may have fallen short.
Father, I confess that I am not perfect, and there have been times when I have not lived up to your standards. Please forgive me for any actions or thoughts that have not pleased you. Help me to repent and turn away from anything that is not in alignment with your will.
Lord, I pray that you would guide me and strengthen me as I strive to live a life that is pleasing to you. Help me to honor you in all that I do, both in my thoughts and in my actions. May my life be a reflection of your love and grace, and may I bring glory to your name in everything that I do.
Thank you for your mercy and your grace, Lord. I am grateful for your forgiveness and your steadfast love. Please continue to work in my heart and in my life, helping me to grow in my faith and in my relationship with you.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
