Matters of the Heart

This week has been incredible. There could not have been a better time to hear the Word of God regarding the human heart and the importance of its alignment with the Word of God. As a person in the medical field, studying the heart as an organ has always fascinated me. This week, learning about God’s purposes and plans with the human heart and how we can develop a heart after God has truly exceeded anything I have learned in the past about the human heart. It’s interesting how the heart, in my opinion, is the most important organ in the human body, with out it working properly all other organs don’t receive the proper amounts of oxygen, which in turn brings death to each one of them. The same applies in the spiritual condition of the heart. It’s so important that the Bible tells us that we should guard it with all diligence, because out of the heart flow “the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23, KJV). The main thing I have learned is that no matter what the circumstances in our lives, the condition of our hearts will determine the outcome. If its condition is not in alignment with the Word of God, death can flow out of it as well. It’s about making a choice, a choice to make God ruler of our hearts or let the human heart and its condition rule over our lives. From the beginning of time, God wanted to His creation to love Him and serve Him and Him alone, but He always gave a choice, the free will. After the fall of man, He made a way for us to get back to His heart, through Jesus Christ. God wants to make His throne in each and every one of our hearts. We must allow Him to reign in our hearts if we want to have the abundant life that He offers. It all comes down to a choice made in your heart. Thanks to Rodney Howard Browne.
