When does God expose and judge the hidden counsels of the heart?

Les explains that at the end of time, when the Lord comes, He will make manifest the counsels of the heart, which is an area only God can see. The word manifest means putting something under the spotlight. Les uses the microscope as an example: the slide does no good until the bright light beneath it is turned on, and then everything on the slide is manifested and invisible things become visible. In the same way, Les says there is coming a time when the sharp light of God's knowledge will penetrate even into the very hearts of our being. He notes that this passage says every man—believers, not lost people—will then have praise of God. Les says this is what we are to live for, rather than the materialism that motivates so much of our lives.
