The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)
Have you ever looked into a mirror of curve glass that was designed to distort the image it reflects? Perhaps you are short and stocky, but in the glass you look tall and lean. This "distortion mirrors" illustrate the human heart, which is totally unreliable in reflecting our spiritual condition. Our "heart mirror" is clouded with evil and comoletely awry with the serpentine twistings of the fall. It is wicked and deceitful above all things. That being the case, our text then inquires, "Who can Know it?" (Jer. 17:9). Certainly not man himself, for "he who trusts in his own heart is a fool" (Prov. 28:26). There is only One who can tell us anything about our true spiritual reflection, and that is God who searches our hearts (Jer. 17:10).

yeah .. i agree with you. Nothing is hidden in the Lord.. He can search all things even what's in our hearts. Our thoughts too are known to God. That is why all that we think, we feel, we perceive, even our pains must be drawn to Him. No one understands us as He does. He is the LOrd who searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts (1 Chronicle 28:9)
