Knowing God - Jeremiah 17:9

(from Pastor)

The heart is deceitful above all things,

and desperately corrupt;

who can understand it?

Jeremiah 17:9

 

Ouch!

 

Sounds like we need heart surgery. Desperate. Deceitful. Corrupt. And you know ... it's more than a double- or triple-bypass that we need. We need a transplant.

 

Now, this is delicate surgery. So who is the great physician who is worthy of our trust? I'm choosing King David's doctor, and I'm praying with him, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me" (Ps 51:10).

 

In Christ's Love,

a guy who doesn't want to be a politician

(desperately corrupt ... as the steorotype goes)

Trust. Again. What is pastor getting at? Why 2 devo's back to back on trust?  Better yet - what is God getting at? I have often thought I need to be powerwashed from the inside out.  Going to intensive treatment was a start, but there is still crud in the corners that is slowly regrowing. I still have trouble trusting God. and anyone else for that matter.
