2 Chronicles 6:7\u00a0 <\/span>Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. But the Lord said to David my father, \u2018Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart. Nevertheless, it is not you who shall build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.\u2019 Now the Lord has fulfilled his promise that he made. For I have risen in the place of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. And there I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he made with the people of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

2 Corinthians 8:12<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 17:9 <\/b>\u00a0 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?<\/p>\n

Matthew 15:19 <\/b>\u00a0For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We see David had it in his heart to build a house for God.\u00a0 <\/span>David was embarrassed by the fact that he was living in a fine palace and God was not.\u00a0 <\/span>So, David purposed in his heart to save and set aside money, purchase materials, and design that which he purposed in his heart to build for God.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t pass over \u201cyou did well that it was in your heart\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>It is in the normal heart to lead and keep us focused on self and away from God.<\/p>\n

Jon Bloom writes – \u201cThe truth is, no one lies to us more than our own hearts. No one. If our hearts are compasses, they are\u00a0misguiding compasses. They don\u2019t tell us the truth; they just tell us what we want. If our hearts are guides, they are\u00a0more than likely lying and want to convince us to above all else please self.\u00a0 <\/span>They are not benevolent; they are pathologically selfish. In fact, if we do what our hearts tell us to do, we will pervert and impoverish every desire, every beauty, every person, every wonder, and every joy. Our hearts want to consume these things for our own self-glory and self-indulgence. No, our hearts will not naturally lead us in the direction of God. We need to be saved from our hearts natural desires.\u201d “Therefore, don\u2019t believe in your heart; direct your heart to believe in God. Don\u2019t follow your heart; follow Jesus. Note that Jesus did not say to his disciples, \u201cLet not your hearts be troubled, just believe in your hearts.\u201d He said, \u201cLet not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me\u201d\u00a0 “So, though your heart will try to shepherd you today, do not follow it. It is not a shepherd. It is a pompous sheep that, due to remaining sin, has some wolf-like qualities. Don\u2019t follow it, and be careful even listening to it. Remember, your heart only tells you what you want, not where you should go. So, only listen to it to note what it\u2019s telling you about what you want, and then take your wants, both good and evil, to Jesus as requests and confessions.”<\/p>\n

Intentionally choosing each day to be heart, soul, and mind, focused on honoring God will change the way you see each moment that passes before you, each thought that comes into your mind, and every action you are planning to take.\u00a0 <\/span>Stay in His word and let it fill your heart and mind with more understanding and knowledge of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
