Known Heart

1 Kings 8:39
then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with each man according to all he does, since you know his heart (for you alone know the hearts of all men),

I gave away part of this yesterday, but I didn't want to put both verses together, since the hearts are rather different in meaning. Yesterday's verse is from man's point of view, though it is all part of Solomon's prayer. He mentions the prayerful person, all too aware of the things he is suffering.
He goes on to ask God to forgive and act. Yet he is not talking about Israel as a nation, but about each person who comes before God. The heart is that of one human being, not a national heart.
God knows the heart. In fact, only God knows every heart.
That is a fact most interesting to contemplate. I have a bad habit of thinking I know more than I do. So many things only God knows, like the heart of every person I know, and every person I don't.
Like my heart.
