This is the day.

THE HEART OF GOD.

Genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

What a statment is made here! God saw man's great wickedness, and His holiness was grieved. God's heart is a wonderful thing to think about, considering that it is the most tender, loving heart in the universe. How sad it is to think that our wickedness will grieve God, and make Him regret the creation of man. Many will say that the wickedness of man is even worse today than in Noah's day, so just think how much more God must be grieved if this is the case.
Let's even get more personal with this thing. Is God grieved at us because of our wicked hearts? Do we constantly dwell on thoughts of sin, and figure out ways of indulging ourselves in that sin? Is thy heart right with God? We all need to do a whole lot more self-examination, and we neeed to do all we can to stay close to God. THE SOULS OF MAN DEPEND ON CHRISTIANS WHO WALK CLOSE TO GOD!!

SONG: IS THY HEART RIGHT WITH GOD

Have thy affections been nailed to the cross?
Is thy heart right with God?
Dost thou count all things for Jesus but loss?
Is thy heart right with God?
Refrain

Is thy heart right with God,
Washed in the crimson flood,
Cleansed and made holy, humble and lowly,
Right in the sight of God?

Hast thou dominion o’er self and o’er sin?
Is thy heart right with God?
Over all evil without and within?
Is thy heart right with God?

Refrain

Is there no more condemnation for sin?
Is thy heart right with God?
Does Jesus rule in the temple within?
Is thy heart right with God?

Refrain

Are all thy pow’rs under Jesus’ control?
Is thy heart right with God?
Does He each moment abide in thy soul?
Is thy heart right with God?

Refrain
