...and beyond all cure. Who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9 says it well. This truth has made itself known in my life more times than I would like to admit. The desires of my heart are not always God-centered and are more often than not self-seeking. It doesn't matter how old I get I still struggle with guarding my heart from it's own destruction. I received some wise encouragement from a friend recently as I was expressing my latest battle of the heart...
It's all about trusting God, his plans, and his timing. I know that every part of my life is in his control and his plan and timing is perfect. It's a whole different thing to live that out. I know that I can trust him but can I live like it's true? I can let go of my heart and continue to tell him my desires and follow through with trusting in his timing and plan. There is a freedom that comes from seeking his will and knowing I'm in it rather than my own. In order to be in a place that I can do that I must seek relationship with him and be in his presence above all else.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way of everlasting.” Psalm 139:23,24
