Make the Right Heart Choices

When it comes to the desires of the heart choose wisely. The heart can be deceitful. If you are going to set your heart on anything be sure that it is the will of Lord and that the desire breaks no precepts or principles set forth in scripture. Be careful also of your emotions for they often overrule good sense when it comes to matters of the heart.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23  

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah  17:9  

Today's Prayer: Lord make the desires of my heart right. Do not allow me to give a foothold for the devil to tempt me. Amen

Chill

Chill! The Bible says a quick tempered man is like a city with no protective walls (see Proverbs 25:28). When a person loses his or her temper, they let their emotions control them; and they let their guard down. The devil has a great time with anyone who allows their emotions to control their actions. Before you blow up, take a deep breath and say a quick pray - then chill! You'll be surprised at how much better things will be. Share 

"I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself." -Max Lucado

Seek to be Meek!

Meekness is strength under control.

Meekness is strength under control.  Albert Barnes defines meekness as “patience in the reception of injuries. It is neither meanness, nor a surrender of our rights, nor cowardice; but it is the opposite of sudden anger, of malice, of long-harbored vengeance.” 

We practice meekness when we quietly endue injustices for the sake of Christ or when we hold our tongue when we have the right to explode. It is a quality that requires the work of Holy Spirit within us. It is also a characteristic of a mature person. The practice of meekness is especially beneficial in relationships and in leadership. Seek to be meek.

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. (Proverbs 25:28)

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5)

Be prepared for whatever...*

Be prepared!! Be prepared for whatever the day and the devil might throw at you. 

Of course, you cannot know everything that the day or the devil might bring; but you can draw from passed experiences and know some the things the devil might throw at you.  For example, you know that the devil is going to scheme to discourage you, tempt you, and cause you to doubt the Lord. You also know that he usually come at you in the weakest areas of your life. If you are fearful, unsure of yourself, or suffering from low self-esteem, you can be sure these are area that will be tested. You can prepare yourself for his tricks by prayer, knowing the scriptures, and being alert – being prepared. 


Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesian 6:11
