I love this devotional I read this morning. I thank the Lord for his word which is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. He is the way maker, promise keeper, our miracle worker, and our light in our lives.
I pray the Lords peace in all of our hearts.
MAN LOOKS AT THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE but I look at the heart.
The ability to see is a great gift. I grant glimpses of My Glory via visual beauty in nature.
Rejoice in these glorious gifts, but do not become enslaved to appearances.
I am primarily interested in the condition of your heart, and I work to create beauty in it.
It is vital to set aside time for nourishing your heart.
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
A wellspring is a source of abundant supply.
Since you belong to Me, My own Life flows through you!
However, to keep this Life flowing abundantly, you must protect your heart from evil influences and nourish it with Bible study and prayer.
Aligning your priorities with My teaching can be very freeing.
When you don’t like the way things look in your world, close your eyes and gaze at who I am.
Remember that I am Immanuel—God with you.
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”—1 SAMUEL 16:7
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.—PROVERBS 4:23
“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”—MATTHEW 1:23
