Where's my Heart?

Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God ’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6 MSG

It all starts with the heart. Once it is right, life itself is right. It doesn't matter how bad things get physically, as long as the heart is on the right person, then things will work out just fine. Is it possible to trust God, yet not completely? God's record about Amaziah, a king, was that he served God all the days of his life, 'but not with a perfect heart'. When you are dealing with a God who CANNOT be deceived, I must be careful of the state of my heart.

I must not really made for independence; God intended that I remain dependent on him alone. All of life's problems began with that lie from the devil that we could be 'like God, knowing good from evil'. The focus was on the wrong kind of likeness. When I seek to obey God continually, my life reflects him. When I seek his will, my life makes impact. When I listen out for him, even in the hustle and bustle of life, I am distinct because I listen to a different voice from the world.

His voice does not ever align with current realties, but his commands will make everything real. Where he directs may not make sense, but he alone knows the final destination. I am very limited in understanding, insight and foresight; only God's eyes see into eternity. I trust him with my life, and ask him for grace to continually obey him. What's your heart? His time of favour is here.
