Congratulations. Your gift of a new day is here. Ready to live it big. You're listening to the Big Life

Devotional podcast. Now, here's Pamela to get you fired up for all God has available for you today.

Well, good morning, beautiful. Welcome to a brand new day of life. Happy Thursday, my friends.

It's a good day to get to be alive. I am so thankful that you invited me into your day. Let's get it started.

The title of today's episode of the Big Life Devotional podcast is The Secret Scale. When you ask God to search your heart and show you

what needs to change, don't be surprised when you discover what looks good on the outside

may have been rotten on the inside. It is so easy for us to dress ourselves up

and play, pretend nice, but God isn't impressed by our show. God knows why you do what you do.

He knows the real script behind the play. And he wants to go to work

on your heart. I feel like this has been a theme in my life for the last several months. God's

working on your heart, on your heart, on your heart, not out of punishment, but out of divine love.

My friend, God cannot lavish his unspeakable, immeasurable goodness on his girl when her heart isn't

right. It's like giving the car keys to a six-year-old and telling her you want her to enjoy

driving the highway early. You would be creating that wreck by giving her what she isn't ready for.

And it's the same with us. God knows he can't give us anything we're not really ready for

without creating devastation in our lives. If our hearts aren't right, we're not ready for the

blessings. The enemy of your soul is who we call Satan, not Satan with horns and a pitchfork.

Satan was the most beautiful of all the angels.

Scripture says he had a seal of perfection.

He was exquisite, adorned with every precious stone. He was ordained and

anointed as the mighty angelic guardian. God's unspeakable goodness had been poured out on his

creation in this high angel.
