Heart Check

What have I done ?

Jeremiah 8:6

Today's Bible Reading: Jeremiah 8:1-7.

Pause for just a moment, and ask sincerely: “What have I done?” This question, found in Jeremiah 8:6, is not merely one of curiosity, but of conscience. Let every heart approach it with honesty. In the noise of life, we often forget to look inward. But now is the time—to reflect, to search, and to answer.

Ask yourself: What have I done with God’s Word? Have I heard it but failed to obey?

What have I done with my time? Have I used it for good, or wasted it in selfishness?

What have I done with others? Have I loved my neighbour, or hurt them with words or neglect? What have I done with Jesus? Have I received Him, or kept Him at arm’s length?

If your honest answer brings conviction—if you see failure, sin, or neglect—do not turn away. God’s mercy shines brightest in our darkest realisations. Yet, let this be a solemn warning: to recognise sin and do nothing is to harden the heart further.

The Lord listens for repentance—He waits to forgive. But He also warns that unrepentance brings judgment. Don’t silence your conscience. Don’t delay.

Today, ask the question. Answer it honestly. And if you must answer it against yourself—flee to Christ. There is still mercy.

Prayer:  My Father in Heaven, search my heart and lead me to true repentance. I ask this, in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
