Open: Where’s Your Heart?

Are you listening to Him?

Where’s your heart right now? I don’t mean your physical heart – hopefully, that’s still beating inside your chest, and if it’s not, now might be a good time to put down the phone and let the doctor work.

Is your heart open to God? It’s easy to respond to this question with defensiveness and self-righteousness; “of course I’m open,” one might say, “i’m in the Word everyday, I go to church on sundays, and I even talk to one or two people every once in a while after it.”

But are you open? Are you in a position to really listen to the truth that God is speaking to you? There are many levels to that truth; from the basic and majestic truth of salvation, to the truth of the value that you have as a child of God. The question, of course, is are you listening? Is your heart open to the Word of God? Are you reading the Word of God? Are you in community with other believers?

Is there room in your heart for God to move?

Here’s my heart Lord,
Here’s my heart Lord
Here’s my heart Lord,
Speak what is true
– Here’s My Heart (feat. Crowder)

  • – Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
  • – With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
  • – For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
  • – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
  • – I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
