“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24).
If we are going to start the process of being better body builders, we must begin with a “Heart Check.” The heart is a vital organ whether we are speaking in physical or spiritual terms.
Working with the brain, the heart is the core of our being. If the heart is not functioning properly, serious problems will develop. From a spiritual perspective, heart issues will affect you, your church and those around you. With our September study and devotionals, let us evaluate our present heart condition.
If we are having heart issues, we need to pinpoint the problem. First of all, we must recognize the fact something is wrong. We will never take steps to correct a problem if we choose to ignore it. From a physical standpoint, doing this might prove fatal. You will need to see a doctor. The same applies spiritually. However, we will need to immediately call on the Great Physician. Applying today’s verse is like making an appointment with the Lord. Pray He will give you a thorough examination.

PRAY TOGETHER: Lord, help me not forget to encourage behind-the-scenes people in my church like nursery workers, bus or van drivers, ushers, etc. Show me ways to offer assistance and make their service to the Lord easier. Amen.
