Commentary on 1 Kings 8:39

Theological / Devotional

Thou knowest. Only God really knows the heart. Many men have little or no understanding of the evils of their own hearts, and the ills they are bringing upon themselves and the world about them as a result of the sin that is lurking there. God knows the heart, and He knows how to change the heart, how to create for man a “clean heart,” and to “renew aright spirit” within him (Ps. 51:10).
