Heart in the Hand



1
The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

Prov 21:1-3 (KJV)

Isn't it good to know that as Christians our Heart is in the hand of the Lord. He loves us and knows every thought that we have and every intention of our heart. Do we want to be like him or just claim Him as our saviour because we think this way we can go to heaven? Do we sometimes justify our ways in our own heart? Sure we do; but Because he knows our hearts, He searches it and can, if we are willing, change us into his likeness, taking our old man, molding and making us into His image, of Grace, mercy and love. All we have to do is be willing. I end today with this scripture from Jeremiah 29. He thinks about us and just wants the best for us.

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Jer 29:11-13 (KJV)
