Jeremiah 44; lamentations 4; Mark 15:1-20

Yesterday I spent most of the day with Susan, running errands. After I did finances, we ran to Coastal for dog food and to the doctor for a blood test. He was pleased with her blood level. He said that it will be a few weeks before they can evaluate the torn ligament and further treatment. Then it was off to a CE meeting where we talked about breakfast, easter and Awana. Wed night we will head to Melrose to observe their awana club. After that Susan and I took off again to get our watches and my sunglasses fixed. We did a little shopping at safeway and walmart. Then it was home again to finish finances. While we were out, Zac called with the news that his removed intestine was cancerous… they don’t know yet if it is malignant or benign. Pray with us!.

This week’s theme verse. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.”

The heart of the matter is this: the issues of life flow from the heart. Where your heart is, that is where we will discover what you value. If you really love God with all your heart, you will demonstrate it with your life. If you have a divided heart, or are half-hearted in your devotion to God, other things will always find a way to become more important than spiritual things. Eventually they will even force spiritual things aside. Guard the heart above all things, for as the heart goes, so will go your life. How can we expect God to guide our paths if we don’t trust him with all our heart? It is a cause and effect issue. If you trust him with all your heart, then we will direct your paths. We can not expect God to be a water boy on the sidelines of our daily life, and then ask him to suite up and direct us on a whim. God wants to be a first string starter. Trust him with all your heart.

Dear Jesus: I pray that you would take my heart. I want to really love you with all my heart, soul and mind. And I want that to be evident in my daily life. I want you to be more important than anything else, I don’t want to leave you on the sidelines. Forgive me for not putting you on the throne of my life all the time. I now choose to put You first in all things.
