Jeremiah 17:10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.
Even though we cannot see when we are going wrong until after it all collapses around our ankles, God sees everything all of the time!
When we do listen to God we will find out just how much He tests our resolve by searching our hearts and making sure we search our hearts.
He also searches our minds to make sure we think things through and don’t just act on impulse.
God then will reward us according to what we are doing. Just believing is enough to save us, but doing God’s will is what He would prefer us to do.
