Let the words of my mouth
and the meditations of my heart
be acceptable in Your sight,
O, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
Psalm 19:14
The heart-
The seat of my mind, will and emotions.
God has been dealing with my heart lately.
As I read His word,
I form a red-penciled heart over the word.
This morning I read 1 Chronicles 29. The heart is mentioned six times:
-with a whole heart
-You (God) try the heart
-in the integrity of my heart
-in the intentions of the heart
-direct their heart to You
-a perfect heart to keep Your commandments
The heart is a busy place.
It thinks, acts and feels.
It is also sick.
The heart is more deceitful than all else and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
-Jeremiah 17:9 NASB
God knows my heart is the problem.
When I believed with my heart to be saved,
God poured out His love within my heart...
...because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
-Romans 5:5 NASB
So that Christ may dwell there.
How is the state of your heart today?
O my! How in-harmony our linked posts are, yours and mine! Just my issue: the state of my heart, in and of itself, and then, with His Spirit poured in. I also mark little hearts on words or in margins in my Bible, too! God bless your heart today!

I really like how you put together these scriptures pertaining the heart. I think I'll take notes of these quick references and reflect on them soon with my Bible & prayer.
