Proverbs - He Weights the Spirits

Proverbs 16:2

 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;

but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

We tend to think we are right when we evaluate our actions and deeds against our own criteria.  If we didn’t we probably wouldn’t choose what we choose.  The Lord weighs our spirits.   He checks our hearts and deep rooted motivations or deceptions we might have within us.  When we are seeking to please the Lord with our ways, we should ask Him to help us be open to His evaluation of our spirits.  Instead of always bringing our actions before Him, let us approach Him with a desire to be searched and diagnosed deep within our frame.  He is able to find and correct things we might never have known existed.  His Word is like a surgeon’s tool and is able to divide the thoughts and intents of our hearts.  Ladies, as we acknowledge Him in all our ways today, be open to what He says about our inner man.   How our Lord loves us and desires such truth in our inner parts.
