YOUR HEART

FAITH CAPSULE: Nothing is hide-able before God.  

Proverbs 4

No heart that can hide from God that can see all.
It is the heart of all that presents one before God. 
Every heart does not hide before God, who sees all about the doing of all the heart.
Genesis 6:5 testifies how the heart of all exposes the wickedness before God. “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” 
The heart of one is not open for another to see, but only God can see and know what transpires in the heart of all.
Jeremiah 17:9 testifies, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?”
The Bible points out that the heart is where the rise and fall begin. 
Satan makes the heart target as a launching pad to attack. 
Judas spent time with Jesus, yet his heart made him available as a playground for Satan. 
The book of Luke 22:3-4 states, “Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.” 
Satan went after the heart of Judas to establish his plan of betraying Jesus. 
Invariably, faith will fail when the enemy attacks the heart not kept.
Peter was close to Jesus and could also have been a victim of the devil. Once Jesus said to him, “…Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. “But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” (Luke 22:31-32) 
The only proven target for the enemy to strike is the heart. 
Ananias and Sapphira sell their possession to buttress the fellowship but lied about the proceedings, “But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep part of the price of the land for yourself? (Acts 5:3)
Evil doing is the business of Satan, and he has taken the heart of all as a target. 
However, the heart that is not reachable by Satan is the heart with constant engagement to the word of God by meditating on the word of God. 
The word encourages, “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)
Meditate on the word of God to disengage Satan from the heart. 
King David, a man after the heart of God, carelessly, not diligently kept his heart when he set his eyes to lay with Uriah, the wife(Bathsheba) of Hittite.
David set Uriah for death. 
David sin against God 
Keep the heart diligently from evil by meditating on the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God for enablement to be keeping the heart diligently.
