Proverbs 21:2 - The Lord Weighs the Heart

Proverbs 21:2

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
    but the Lord weighs the heart.

Lesson Summary

  • Often times there is a way that seems right in our own heart, but it is the wrong way.
  • Our judgment can be way off. Our judgment of our own actions and, like the townspeople, our judgment of others.
  • We need to ask Jesus to give us wisdom to make a right judgment and in some cases, many cases, let God do the judging, because it is God who weighs the heart.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,
Give us the wisdom and insight to be able to judge ourselves, a situation, and another person correctly.
In times where we can't, help us to trust you to judge rightly because only you can weigh a heart.
In Jesus' Name we pray,
Amen.
