Set Your Sights On Things Above
We so quickly get our eyes off God. Let's get back into

Follow your heart?Starting the new year right is something that I think all of us want to do. And in that spirit, I've seen many posts advocating following your heart in 2014. Thing is, is that Biblical? I mean it sounds all warm and fluffy - you know, be true to your own feelings. The idea of following your heart brings up the notion of knowing what you want and following your true desires. But is it Biblical? In 2014, I just think we ought to really look at that statement and decide if that's really what God says.
What does the Bible say about our heart? Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? This doesn't sound like something that God wants us following, does it? I can never understand why Christians would repeat this phrase when God so clearly declares our hearts to be deceitful and that we ought NOT follow it. So instead, what does God say we should follow? Psalm 119:105(KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. God's Word is what we should be following. So don't follow your heart - make your heart follow God. Happy New Year! Make it the best 2014 it can be, by following the right heart - God's heart. |
