FAITH CAPSULE:<\/b> Heart demands a close attention.<\/p>\n
The book of Proverbs 2:10-12,<\/i><\/b> Stated, \u201cWhen<\/i><\/b> wisdom enters your heart,<\/i><\/b> and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you;<\/i><\/b> understanding will keep you; to deliver you from the way of evil\u2026\u201d<\/i><\/b> The heart of man demands a close attention as regard to what enters into the heart on a regular basis. Wisdom (word of God, testimonies of His hand) is good and important for heart to feed on. What are you feeding your heart on? Proverbs 4:23<\/i><\/b> admonished, \u201cKeep your heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life.\u201d<\/i><\/b> One that knows to keep heart diligently will surely be in good position when it comes to dealing with the issues of life. Caleb and Joshua were the only survivors among thousands of the children of Israel that left Egypt for the Promised Land. Caleb and Joshua survived because they were able to keep their heart with all diligence. Evidently, their heart was the center for keeping the testimonies of God. Psalm 119:2<\/i><\/b> testified, \u201cBlessed are those who keep His testimonies,<\/i><\/b> who seek Him with the whole heart!\u201d<\/i><\/b> Without doubt, it is true that those who keep His testimonies in the heart will wholly follow Him just like Caleb and Joshua did.
\nIn the heart, Caleb and Joshua remembered the promise of God and they trusted in what the Lord was capable of doing. Caleb testified about the operation of his heart, \u201cI was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart.\u201d (Joshua 14:7)<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 Evidently, trusting is not just a thing of the mouth, but it is also from the heart. However, if the promises of God were not rooted in the heart, Caleb would not have taken a stand of his testimony. When they went to spy, Caleb did not see negative like other spy but he saw positive because in his heart, he knew that God\u2019s promise was going to be manifested. In the same spying mission, his brethren saw negative because they could not keep their heart with diligence. Caleb testified, \u201cNevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God.\u201d (Joshua 14:8)<\/i><\/b> They all went to spy but they could not see the same thing because their heart is not kept the same way. Those who keep His testimonies seek Him with the whole heart (they wholly followed Him)
\nMoses responded to Caleb and Joshua\u2019s testimony saying, \u201cSurely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children\u2019s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.\u201d (Joshua 14:9) <\/i><\/b>Keep your heart with all diligence by keeping His testimonies and you will wholly follow Him. Prayer for today:<\/b> Ask God for the grace to keep your heart diligently.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
