Today’s Scripture: My sons, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways. Proverbs 23:26 ESV
Who or what will we give our hearts to today? Not lip service but our very heart. Who and what will we chase after today?
This seems to be where the rubber meets the road and where the conflict of life and God’s instruction intersect. When our feet hit the floor and we begin today’s race where are we running? What is the focus of our eyes and our hearts? Proverbs 23 is full of promise and warning.
Are we tempted to run after worldly deceptions or will we apply our hearts to God’s instructions? Will we direct our hearts in the way of God or the ways of man?
This is hard in the face of today but our Redeemer is strong! Let the LORD rejoice in our hearts and fill them with hope.
Who and what will receive your heart today? Praying we give it up to God.
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, I give You my heart. I need Your power and Your instruction to guide my heart in Your ways. Help me to acquire Your truth, Your wisdom, instruction and understanding. Help me to give my heart and my eyes to Your Way today and every day. Do with my heart what you will. Amen
