Bible Texts: Pro.23:26, Matt.15:18-20, Jn.15:5, Mk.7:6, Heb.10:22, Rom.12:1-3, Pro.4:19-21, Matt.5:14-16, Gal.4:19
As the husbandman, you are a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God (Rom.12:1-3). So, God is interested in you and wants a quality relationship with you so that He can make you into the good and godly man, husband and father that He had planned for you from the foundation of the world. This is why God is asking you to come to Him today.
My son, give me thine heart and let thine eyes observe my ways (Pr.23:26)
God says, my son, give me your life by giving me first place in your heart because out of the abundance of the heart of a man is his real personality born. The totality of your action or inaction, whether good or bad, is as a result of the state of your heart.
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things that defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands defileth not a man (Matt.15:18-20)
But why does God want me to give Him first place in my heart?
God wants your heart so that He can feed it with graceful seeds that will mould you to have self control over your will and emotions. God also wants your heart so that He can whisper to you His wisdom on how to respond to the issues of life. God wants your heart so that He can clean you up from every form of filthiness (2Cor.7:1).
Your heavenly Father wants the best for you, and so giving Him your heart and allowing Him to have His way will be your joy and profiting.
Therefore, give God your life today and He will help you to reorder your thoughts, words, actions and conduct to make them fit into His perfect will for your life as the good and godly man, husband and father. Amen.
