Plain!

Plain!

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 KJV

God understands our frame; afterall, He put us together and fashioned our parts. He knows what makes us tick and what upsets our hearts. The heart is that hidden, but very important part of man. In it lies the seat of all decision making, intentions, motive and action. That is the basis of today's extract.

The heart is also called 'deceitful and desperately wicked' by the God who made us. This means that for any heart to experience today's extract, God has got to work in and on that heart to make it into what He can impact. The days God gives me are to be used for learning more and more about God and understanding what He wants for me. As we seem not to take this seriously, it is not a wonder then that the world is the way it is.

We speak about mental health and depression, and we make men rich by buying physical prescriptions for spiritual problems. We replace God with activity, friends, likes on Facebook/Instagram, and we expect our hearts to be at rest and at peace. If the Prince of peace is not in charge in there, there is nothing of great eternal value that can come out of such a heart.

The secret to your heart being merry has nothing to do with Possession, Power, Privilege or Position, but with the Presence of God. You are not shaken by the wind, storms or fire, because your anchor is tied to the Rock of Ages. I face trials with joy because I know they have been structured to make me grow, not kill me.

So, what is your own reality? Is God in there or you are the one fully in charge? Remember, your reaction to the realities around you is an outflow of the contents of your heart, and the contents of your heart are determined by the control centre. Who's in charge in there? His time of favour is here.
