the heart

Tonight Logan was describing the heart to Tallulah:

It is a muscle that pumps all the time, it never stops, never sleeps, it is always working. It pumps the blood through your body all the time which keeps you alive..."

What came to my mind was:

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jer. 17:9

And also, it kind of sounds like Satan...never stops, never sleeps, is at work even when we don't realize...

How does this all tie in together?! What are we to do? I kinda felt a little hopeless, until the Holy Spirit reminded me of this:

"Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life."
Proverbs 4:23

Thankfully, if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savoir, He indwells your heart. Never sleeps, never stopping, always working even when we don't realize.

PRAISE to the Lord, for He made us and KNOWS us.
Thank you Jesus for your GRACE on me. I love that YOU are in my veins, pumping LIFE into my whole body.

"Let all that I am praise the LORD; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name."
Psalm 103:1
