“Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart” (2 Chronicles 25:1-2).
Your heart plays a significant role in what you do and what you don’t do. The state or condition of your heart can make useless a good act. As a Christian, God wants your heart and your act to be in agreement. Don’t do things without a good heart.
God is interested in both your good actions and your good heart. You see, the real you is your heart or your spirit. Thus, acting in the flesh by doing good things to and for people but still have bad thoughts and feelings towards them in your heart will render your works useless before God.
The Bible says that, as a man thinks in his heart so is he. “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee” (Proverbs 27:3). Don’t say one thing with your mouth and hold another thing your heart.
You see, although you can win the approval of men from doing “heartless” things or doing things without the backings of your heart, that won’t pass the test of God.
Let God’s word dominate your heart and allow the promptings of the spirit to inspire your heart, this is how to put your heart in a perfect state. When your heart is guarded against every evil, you will act or do things wholeheartedly without any seed of deception or hypocrisy.
