Jeremiah 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, The Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. I read those words over and over and the seven words that stood out to me "according to the fruit of his doings." We know whatever is in the heart of man, it will manifest its self through words, actions and in behaviors and thoughts. In the days of Jeremiah we know he was called to speak to a nation whose hearts were filled with deceit, a place were no good fruit was found. And once again I go back to those seven words and this time I change them a bit ..... " according to the fruit of MY doing." Did you read what I wrote? I put my own heart in that verse for the Lord to search. That is not an easy task. No one likes to be called out for the wrong we say, do or even think. It's so much easier if we can just sweep it
