Word
of God
But
he answering, said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread only,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

2
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if
there were any that would understand, and seek God. 3 All are gone
out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good,
no not one.
Brethren:
For
the Lord your God sees and searches into the hearts of men (Read
Romans 8:27) that as such, He knows which will follow His lead, His
way, and walk in His righteousness. However, we must ask ourselves,
are we as faithful to Him as He to us? For daily we both bless and
curse from the same spring of water (Read James 3:9-11). Likewise
that spring can be compared to the heart from which the issues of it
are spoken through our mouths. (Read Proverbs 4:23; Matthew 12:35)
Consider
then this for yourselves, which do you serve; the heart of this
world, or the heart of righteousness. - Dr. Riktor Von Zhades -

“The
disgrace and debasement it puts upon the nature of man. Sinners are
corrupt, quite degenerated from what man was in his innocent estate:
They have become filthy, putrid. All their faculties are so
disordered that they have become odious to their Maker and utterly
incapable of answering the ends of their creation. They are corrupt
indeed; for they do no good, but are the unprofitable burdens of the
earth; they do God no service, bring him no honour, nor do themselves
any real kindness. They do a great deal of hurt. They have done
abominable works, for such all sinful works are. Sin is an
abomination to God; it is that abominable thing which he hates (Read
Jeremiah 44:4), and, sooner or later, it will be so to the sinner; it
will be found to be hateful (Read Psalm 36:2), an abomination of
desolation, that is, making desolate, (Read Matthew 24:15) This
follows upon their saying, There is no God; for those that profess
they know God, but in works deny him, are abominable, and to every
good work reprobate, (Read Titus 1:16). [Yet we find that] every
operation of the thought of man’s heart was evil, only evil, and
that continually. They have gone aside from the right of their duty,
the way that leads to happiness, and have turned into the paths of
the destroyer.” Matthew Henry
