What Are You Contemplating, Planning, Aiming, and Purposing In Your Heart? (August 28, 2015)

What is your heart's intent?  What is it that you are intending to do in your heart?   To intend means to contemplate, plan, aim, and purpose.   What are you purposing in your heart?  What is it that you are contemplating?  The book of Jeremiah talks about the heart being deceitful.   When something is deceitful, it is misleading and being misled causes you to go astray.   To seek after and to sometimes lust after things that are not truly a part of God's plan for your life.    We have to be like David and ask God to cleanse our heart and to renew a right spirit within us.      We have to stay in God's Word and understand that it is quick, powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword.    We have to let God's Word discern our thoughts and our intentions.   

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

Psalms 51:10 - Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

So don't be led by what you think or what you feel.  Be led by God and His Word.   Have faith in God's Word and not your feelings.   Line your thoughts up with God's God's Word and not Your personal desires.
