Heart of the matter and Heart’s desire:
How
often have we heard the expression the “heart of the matter” or “heart’s desire"?
Actually, taking everything into consideration on this earth, the heart is the
center of everything.
The
heart is the crucial organ for the physical body to live. So too, what is in
our heart is most crucial for our soul to live.
What
we eat or put into our body will affect the health of our heart; so too what is
in our heart or proceeds out of our heart is a direct result of the way we live
spiritually.
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9).
A
healthy heart is the key to a healthy physical life. A pure heart is the key to
a pure spiritual life. Keep our heart healthy and pure, and we will obtain the
promise of life. God knows all our hearts and has declared through Jeremiah:
“I
the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to
his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings” (Jeremiah 17:10). “Keep thy
heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs
4:23).
The
heart is the center of life. Every day keep our heart set on the things not
seen in the heavens to one day obtain life everlasting.
