Today’s Scripture: The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases. Proverbs 21:1 NIV
Does the LORD direct and examine your heart? I know He does mine. I prove daily that my only hope in walking in the way of life is through Him. Yes, He weighs my heart and destroys my “self” confidence.
As I walk along life’s trails God shows me the more I keep my eyes and my heart on Him I see His beauty. When I look to others and other ways I find heartbreak. When my heart is left in His hands I then experience His ways.
Here in Proverbs 21 and in my life, He reminds me that the only strength I have is in the LORD. Yes LORD I pour my heart out to You so You can direct it as You will. I know my safety and victory rest in You.
How is God examining and directing your heart? Have you placed your heart in His hands?
Today’s Prayer: Dear LORD Almighty, I give You my heart. Forgive me for when I give my heart to other things. My heart is in Your hand LORD and I pray You direct it as You will. I confess that I have no power in myself and confess that You are my strength. My victory belongs to You. You have my heart and I ask You to hand it to those You desire. Amen

Truly my only strength, confidence and deepest JOY is in JESUS. He is on Whom I’ve set my heart–as you said, all others result in some degree of heartbreak. God bless you today.
