FAITH CAPSULE: Do you have a place for God in your heart?
Romans 10
Do you have a heart for God?

God pays attention to all hearts.
The place for the Word of God is the heart of all who open for His entrance.
Jesus appeals for all hearts to be opened for Him.
Revelation 3:20 records the words of Jesus, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.”
Do you have a place for God in your heart?
A heart not full of the word of God is empty of God.
Why not make your heart available for God?
Do you have a place in your heart for the word of God?
A heart with no place for the word of God is not faithful before God.
Be open to the word of God.
Attending church or being a member of a church that gathers in the name of God all day and night is no evidence of having a heart for the word of God.
Are you giving yourself to the word of God?
Do you understand where the word of God belongs as the host of the word of God?
The word of God is God; His word is His command, the word of God is His law, and the testimony of God is also His word.
The place for the word of God is in the heart of man, but many have no room to open up.
Do you have a place for God in your heart?

Proverbs 4:4, “He also taught me and said to me: ‘Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands and live.”

Without a doubt, God belongs in a heart that opens for His entrance.
The word of God is magnified above all the names of God. (Psalm 138:2)
Why not make your heart available for God?
Mark it, and know that any heart closed to the word of God is a heart occupied by the world.
Be awake to God, and He will make your heart His place.
Prayer for today: Ask that your heart be open to receive the word of God.
