THE PILGRIMS GUIDE SUNDAY AUGUST 2, 2026 YOUR HEART DETERMINES THE QUALITY OF YOUR SERVICE 2 A WORD FROM THE WORD: "Meanwhile, God’s firm foundation is as firm as ever, these sentences engraved on the stones: GOD KNOWS WHO BELONGS TO HIM. STEER CLEAR OF EVIL, ALL YOU WHO NAME GOD AS GOD. In a well-furnished kitchen there are not only crystal goblets and silver platters, but waste cans and compost buckets—some containers used to serve fine meals, others to take out the garbage. Become that kind of container God can use to present any and every kind of gift to his guests for their blessing." 2 Timothy 2:19-21 MSG. Most people concentrate all their efforts working for, and serving God, yet they still fall short of His requirements, there's something more important than our service to God, and that is our heart. Some of the mysteries and secrets of the qualifications to spending eternity in God's presence are that when the LORD Jesus comes, He will look at our hearts with this question in His heart, 'Am I This Person's Only Heart's Desire?' And because He already knows the answer, there will be nothing more to add or subtract. Where and how is your heart now, beloved? PRAYER BULLETS: LORD Jesus, I want to please You in my life, create in me a new, clean and right heart, I pray.
