Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 100:1-5

“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children.”  Ephesians 5:1


THE BIBLE HEART
By Dan Flournoy
In the Bible the word “heart” does not always refer to the blood pump. Often it is used to refer to the “inner man”. The apostle Peter taught women that emphasis should be placed on the “hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit” rather than on outward beauty (1 Pet. 3:4). Just what is this “inner person of the heart?” Please consider that the Bible heart is composed of four elements:

1. The intellect. With the Bible heart one thinks (Prov. 23:7), understands (Matt. 13:15 and believes (Rom. 10:10).

2. The emotions. With the Bible heart one desires (Rom. 10:1), loves (Matt. 22:37) and trusts (Prov. 3:5).

3. The will or volition. With the Bible heart one makes decisions or purposes (Dan. 1:8), intends (Heb. 4:12) and obeys (Rom. 6:17).
The conscience. The Bible heart either excuses our actions (1 Cor. 4:4-5) or condemns them (1 John 3:20).

The heart is not always as it should be. It may be corrupt as the ancients of the anti-deluvian world: “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Gen. 6:5). It is not always a good idea to follow ones feelings because the heart can be corrupted. Jeremiah warns, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Therefore the Wise Man warns: “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Prov. 4:23). Jesus said “For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings: these are the things which defile a man…” (Matt. 15:19).

On the other hand, there are those exceptional people whose hearts are right with God. Of king Josiah it was said: “And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him: (2 Kings 24:25).

David observed that the right attitude of heart begins with its being broken or crushed. He said, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God thou wilt not despise.” The broken heart is symbolic of humility and penitence and synonymous with “a broken spirit.” Thus Jesus said: “Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:3).

The greatest need is for the heart to be changed from a hard, stony and stubborn heart to a heart that is submissive to the will of God. The heart of rebellion must be changed to a heart of obedience. With the intellect one understands God’s will. With the emotions one responds in love. With the will one decides to obey and having done so, the conscience is cleansed. Will you allow God’s word to change your heart and life?


GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS!            SEE YOU NEXT MONTH!
