“Who can understand the human heart? ” [Jeremiah 17:9(GNB)]
July 9
“Who can understand the human heart? “. The prophet says that there is nothing else so deceitful as the human heart: it is too sick to be healed. We can find instances on every hand to support this. Because deceitful, it is unpredictable and is involved in all kinds of intrigue.
Yet while the human heart cannot be healed (the prophet is referring to the spiritual heart, of course) it can be replaced. This has happened in the lives of all who have received Christ. God’s offer of eternal life includes a new, clean, God-like heart.
The positive answer to Jeremiah’s question is that God can understand the human heart. And any who have heart trouble – spiritual problems – should go to the Lord. Describe to Him the condition as accurately as you can, then ask Him to deal with it.
