As I was reading my Bible this week, I found myself in the books of James and Hebrews. Those two chapters are what led me to today’s topic: checking your heart.
James 4:3 says, “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”
In the book of Hebrews, chapter 3, verses 7–8, God tells us not to harden our hearts.
For some reason, those verses really stuck with me.
ForevaBlack family, sometimes our hearts are not in the right place—even when we think they are.
Take a moment to sit down and reflect on your heart. What’s truly in it? You might as well be honest, because God sees the heart, and He knows how deceiving it can be. What is your heart holding onto? Is your heart truly pure the way God wants it to be, or only pure by the world’s standards? Is your heart turned away from God, or is it trying to make its way back to Him?
You aren’t perfect, and neither am I. It’s so easy for our hearts to end up in the wrong place for so many different reasons—but that’s where prayer comes in. Pray and ask God to reveal what you may be unaware of in your heart, or ask Him to clean up your heart posture.
Whatever is stored in our hearts will eventually spill out, whether it’s good or bad. What’s in your heart is who you are. If left unchecked, it can completely consume you and lead to destruction. Sometimes we wonder why we’re praying to God and nothing seems to be happening. Truthfully, at times, we are the problem. We ask for things with the wrong motives, or our hearts become so hardened that we think God is just supposed to move—and that isn’t how a true relationship works.
I pray that after today, we will ask God to cleanse our hearts daily. The correct heart posture can take you to places you never imagined. Check your heart.
I love you all so much. 🤍
2026 is going to start off very beautiful for us.
