In keeping with our Foursquare family of churches' 21 days of Fasting
& Prayer to start the New Year with daily readings from Psalm 119, each day
I will post the verse that stands out to me with a short response.
Read Psalm 119:1-8.
"Led by the Heart"
"Led by the Heart"
My focus today is on verses 2-3,
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways!
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways!
Too often as Christians in the west, we think that we must start with our mind/intellect/will to follow the
Lord when a more biblical model is presented here, one that begins in the
heart as a love response to the love of God poured out in the Holy Spirit (Rom.
5:5,8) Our will is sure to follow our heart’s desires.
O, Lord! May you capture our hearts today with your great love
and goodness and your commitment to walking with us through everything we face. Our
hope is not in our resolutions but in your revelation of who you are and how
you are for us. Why would we want to walk in any other way but yours?
