Treasures from the Word

As a child in Sunday school, I learned to believe and love every word in the Bible.  As a teen at youth camp, I realized that the Word was God.  It was alive with words that I needed daily.  It was there that I began reading the Bible through one verse at a time.  I love to take my time to meditate and learn as the Holy Spirit teaches and guides.  My favorite reference is Strong's Concordance.  Since the Bible was not written in English, much can be learned by referring to the original language of the author.  Often, God will direct my attention to another topic or passage.  Then, I take a detour, spending time on that road, before returning to my stopping point.  Along the way, I journal the thoughts, ideas, and lessons God gives me. Now I am obeying God in sharing some of these thoughts with you.  My prayer is that you will be encouraged and challenged.  My desire is that you  fall totally and madly in love with God and His Word.  I would love to hear from you. Feel free to respond to what you read, whether you agree or disagree.  

Follow Your Heart?

Jeremiah 23:26 ...yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart...
Jeremiah 23:16 ...they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Proverbs 28:26  He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool...
Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Just a few days ago, I heard of two ministry leaders currently involved in unethical practices and immoral lifestyles.  How can people who profess to know God and who even teach  and preach God's principles of living continue in such lifestyles?

I believe the answer is in the above verses.  They are trusting in their own hearts.  They have lied to themselves over and over again until they believe their own lies, and now the lie is their truth.  When a person begins to see Satan's lies as truth, any action can be justified as God's Word is distorted into a custom-made set of "if's, and's and but's." 

Lord, help me as I approach your Word to come with a humble heart, allowing Your truth to uncover and uproot any seed of deception that I have allowed to germinate.  Yours in the only heart I can trust implicitly.
