Every Human Heart Will Melt

Image
Isaiah   13:6-7 [6] Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come! [7] Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every human heart will melt.  "Every human heart will melt."      On the day of the LORD, every human heart will melt.  Just a simple thought that came to me about this statement was how we are given a new heart  when the LORD calls us. We were born with a heart of stone, and the LORD gave us a heart of flesh.        To think the heart of stone is what is going to melt on the day of descruction just reveals our Mighty GOD's glory! Just as the LORD taking our heart of stone and making it a heart of flesh reveals HIS glory, so does melting (destroying) the heart of stone.      If you still have a heart of stone, repent of your sins and look to JESUS and HE will give you a heart of flesh! Commit your life to the LORD and contnually repent!      If the LORD has already chosen you and given you a heart of flesh, rejoice! Praise H

The Warnings and Guidence of our Tongue

Image
     Hello friends! Today, I will be talking briefly on a theme the LORD reviled to me as I read Proverbs: our tongue.            James also talks a lot about the tongue. We must be slow to speak, (James 1:19) bridle it, (James 1:26) the tongue is small, (James 3:5) but also a fire. (James 3:5-6)      The most impactual passage to me in James about the tongue is chapter 3 verses 8 through 10. That we use our tongue to both bless the LORD and curse others. That very real and true statement should break our hearts.           Back to Proverbs! Here are some warning texts about our tongue that Solomon and the other writers of Proverbs warned about.  (2:12, 2:16, 5:3, 7:21, 8:13, 10:6;8;10;11;14;18;19;31;32, 12:22, 17:4-5, 17:20, 18:21, 30:32-33)            These are not even all the passges in Proverbs about the warnings of our tongue. It is a very consistent theme. It is also very crutial to remember what JESUS says about sin and the Law, that even if you hate your brother in your heart,

When Pride Blinds

Image
       Hello, friends! Long time no blog! Today's thought will be on pride; we all have it in some form. He said, "What have they seen in your house?" And Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my houe; there is nothing in my storehouses that I did not show them."  - 2 Kings 20:15 ESV       Here, Hezekiah let his pride lead him into danger with the Babylonian envoys. How easily pride will blind us. And, it will harden our hearts, too. After Hezekiah found out about his sin, he went right into another sin: selfishness. He first thought was of his life and how the LORD would avenge him during his days on earth.      When we are convicted of our pride, let us first thank the HOLY SPIRIT for convixting us, and then let us read Job chapters 38 and 39. Whether we are in the midst of the prise of  superiority  or  inferiority , with open hearts, GOD will humble us with those chapters.  Let us live for the LORD, together!  For HIM, Sabina
