I would like to bring a brief and simple message, to analyze our hearts!
Have we done things from the heart for the Lord? Did we fall into the routine and end up praying or reading the Bible out of obligation? Do we worship the Lord in spirit and in truth?
Shall we talk about?
Routine compliance
It is true that we all have a routine and that, regardless of how busy the routine is, we need to have time for our spiritual life. Time for prayer, reading the Word and worship is sorely needed.
However, we often fall into the routine and start doing things out of a simple obligation and do not think about the real reason we are doing that. Unfortunately, this often happens in our spiritual lives.
We started to pray simply to pray, to fulfill the table. Read the Bible to fulfill the table. Is this right? With absolute certainty, it is not right at all! The Lord wants us to be whole, wants us to do things with our understanding.
What does the Lord seek?
“let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.”
Hebrews 10:22
The Bible shows us, through several passages, that we must seek the Lord with all our heart and with all our strength and understanding. Thus, we can conclude that it is not right to pray, to read the Bible, to fast, to preach or to praise from the mouth.
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.””
John 4:23
The Lord does not seek people who will praise Him from the mouth, but those who honor His name in all situations. Those who seek the face of the Lord with all their heart, because after all, it must be the most important thing in our lives.
We cannot conform to routine. We need to think about what we are doing and why we are doing it. Otherwise, it would make no sense to seek the Lord.
Analyze your heart and see if you have worshiped, sought and honored Him with all your heart.
Grace and Peace.
It is written “These people draw near to me with their mouth in words, but their heart is far from me.” Let us not be found so doing! Our actions must be right, from a heart that loves the Lord. Thank you for the challenge. Peace!

I must admit this is hard at times cause you sought a time take that Sundays you go to church but rarely moved by the spirit to worship in truth and spirit during the week. Thank you so much for this reminder to exam our actions and purpose as we approach the throne of the most high in conduct, thoughts and being.
Your heart is pure, this is His promise to keep you & prosper you, let Him lead

Amen. I’m enlightened and encouraged as well. Thank you man of God.
I have faith in Heart and Soul but lazy to read bible.. because i grown as a Christian i feel that i know everything ..and thats the problem on me
Almighty God, always wait for us. If we do any wrong or mistakes He(God) waits for us to go back to Him.
Like a father wait for his son or daughter to realize that he made mistakes and correct the mistakes.
Same to our Lord Jesus Christ is also waiting for us to repent and go back to Him(God).
In Jesus name Amen 🙏 🙏🙏 🙏
I have in my heart faith, where through no other way apart from the proof of the Lord in all my days I have seen things that no being can give answer to and for that reason I am devoted to the Lord God our saviour.
Who is my rock on my way of life through his promise.
Amen.
Only God can cleanse a heart from sin. And as we looked at the mountains, we admired the pure whiteness that scrubbing and bleaching a piece of cloth dyed in scarlet red can’t achieve. When we follow Peter’s teaching, “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out” (Acts 3:19), God forgives us and gives us a new life. Only through Jesus’s sacrifice can we receive what no one else can give—a pure heart. What a wonderful gift!
Father, thank You for forgiving our sins and wiping them clean.
When God forgives, He purifies us also, Amén. Guillermo & Lisa García
Amen
Amen.Actually a good encouragement.
