“My son, give me your heart and let your eyes observe and delight in My ways,” Proverbs 23v26 (AMP)

As we look through scripture, we find different kinds of hearts: a wise heart, a discerning heart, a whole and blameless heart, a willing heart, a peaceful heart, a discouraged heart, an obstinate heart, a heart of stone, a heart of flesh, a wicked heart, a despairing heart, a trembling heart, a heart that doesn’t understand, an upright heart, a hearing heart, a merry heart, a good heart, a perfect heart, a honest heart, a rebellious heart, a lying heart, and so on. However, the Lord knows the heart of all men. Whatever the state of your heart is, a request is being made – give me your heart. Joel 2v12 (TLB) says “That is why the Lord says, “Turn to Me now, while there is time. Give me all your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, mourning.” What is your response to God? Some have refused to give God their hearts, as we see in Psalm 78v8 (TLB): “Thus they did not need to be as their fathers were – stubborn, rebellious, unfaithful, refusing to give their hearts to God.” Beloved, turn to the Lord now, forsake evil and draw near to Him. He can change your heart and give you one that is responsive to Him (Jeremiah 24v7).

“”’Then it will be as though I had sprinkled clean water on you, for you will be clean – your filthiness will be washed away, your idol worship gone. And I will give you a new heart – I will give you new and right desires – and put a new spirit within you. I will take out your stony hearts of sin and give you new hearts of love. And I will put my Spirit within you so that you will obey my laws and do whatever I command.” Ezekiel 36v25-27 (TLB)

Prayer

Father in heaven, we thank You for Your Word. Father, we turn to You this day and give You our hearts in Jesus name, amen.
