Jer 17:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9–10 : Jeremiah reminds us, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9 ). We cannot fully understand our own hearts, but God says, I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways (Jeremiah 17:10 ). God alone can see our true motives and judge us fairly. This is why we must be honest with God and let Him guide us.

‏ Jeremiah 17:9

v. 9–10: Jeremiah reminds us, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?(Jeremiah 17:9 ^a). We cannot fully understand our own hearts, but God says, I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways(Jeremiah 17:10 ^b). God alone can see our true motives and judge us fairly. This is why we must be honest with God and let Him guide us.
