A Heart Ready for God

Text: Hebrew 3:15(KJV)

While it is said, today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Friends, God desires hearts that are soft before Him and not stubborn or defensive. Yes, yielding does not mean weakness rather it means strength under God’s authority. So, it is important that we are responsive, teachable and obedient to God. Ezekiel 36:26 - I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh It requires that we listen when God speaks and responds with humility of faith at all times. But a hardened heart resist God’s voice and rejects his loving corrections. And this makes one not to be sensitive to His leading.  Hence, let’s examine ourselves and the condition of our hearts with sincerity as God works through the flow into our hearts. Proverb 28:14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.

Interestingly, as believers we need a yielded heart that put her trusts in God even when the path is unclear and obeys even when obedience is costly. This is possible as we continue to journey with God in this kingdom. Proverb 4:23 - Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. We should guide against a hardened heart like Pharaoh who despite witnessing God's mighty works he refused to yield to God’s command but King David though imperfect maintained a yielded heart that will make him cry out in prayers trusting God to create a clean heart in him. I pray we shall present a heart, ready and soft towards God daily as we restore deep intimacy with God and joy unspeakable in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, pour upon us a humble and contrite heart as You replace hardened heart with a new heart as to bear lasting fruit in Jesus name

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, God promises great blessings to those who remain tender in heart before Him.
