FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> What do you see and transfer to the heart for further implementation? <\/p>\n

2 Samuel 11, 12<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Sinning is an act that is formed in our hearts, whether is acted upon or not. The Bible warned in the book of Proverbs, “Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it springs the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23) <\/i><\/b>The warning does not need further interpretation, other than to let us know that our hearts demand a somber protection from evil filtrations. Jesus taught that murderer begins in the heart. When thought to commit murderer is sustained in the heart it becomes a sin before it becomes an act. During the same teaching, He also mentioned that adultery becomes a sin in the heart before reality outside of the heart. Jesus said in Matthew 5:27-28, “<\/i><\/b>You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”<\/i><\/b> What are you looking at? What do you see and transfer to the heart for further implementation? David, a man after God’s own heart committed a grave sin when he saw and transferred what he saw to the heart for further implementation. It was recorded about David, “Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold. So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, “Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?” 4 Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived; so she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.” (2 Samuel 11:2-5)<\/i><\/b> Evidently, what David saw was processed in his heart. He could not keep his heart from what he saw in Bathsheba but went to further action that cost him a great deal in life. The word of God cannot be broken and He means what He has commanded us not to do. It doesn’t matter what others think or say about you, because God only goes by what is in our hearts. It is written…“<\/i><\/b>For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…” (<\/i><\/b>2 Chronicles 16:9)<\/i><\/b> The verse is a confirmation of the truth that God see what the heart carries. <\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/b> Ask God for grace that will allow you to keep your heart diligent and true to Him.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
