My journey of personal observations which I have made over the years to apply Bible reading in my life.

He knows our thoughts
Matthew 9:4

But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?”

Observation

Jesus read their thoughts. Jesus asked why they had evil in their hearts.

Application in my life

God knows our thoughts, Jesus demonstrated that. God sees the evil in men’s hearts based on their thought life. Jesus asked them about the evil inside them. There would therefore be a reason for it, one they should know the answer to. So it stands to reason that every person should be able to see the reason for what is in their hearts.

I want to replace any evil with the goodness of God. By not choosing God I am not allowing Him to fill my heart. I will be empty inside without God. That emptiness makes room for evil to find a home there. Choose God and reject evil. Because I fill my heart with God, my thoughts will reflect God’s goodness. And a God will know because he knows my thoughts.

My prayer

Lord, I ask you to fill my heart, your words your thoughts, your desires, your love, with all of it there is no room and no emptiness to be filled, by evil Amen
