Are you ready for what you prepared in your heart? Where do these ideas come from?

• Pro 16:1 -> “The preparations of the heart belong to man: but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.”.

The man makes plans, but the right answer comes from the Creator. Can you believe:

• Jas 1:16,17 -> “Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.”.

So, let’s give room so that the Creator can mold our heart:

• 2Co 8:16 -> “But thanks be to God, which putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.”
• Eze 36:26,27 -> “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you art heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.”.
• Jer 32:39,40 -> “and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for ever; for the good of them, and of their children after them: and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.”.

I know that, many times, we try to keep the control on the situation. Nonetheless:

• Jer 10:23 -> “O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”.

However, may us desire the same as the psalmist:

• Psa 119:36 -> ‘Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.”.

He longs for working in our heart His good, perfect and delightful will (Rom 12:2):

• Php 2:12,13 -> “So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.”.

So, have a great day hearing Jesus’ voice and biding Him to work in your life exactly what you need so that His boon can be a blessing in your life.
