The way of the heart
As the preacher spoke of this passage this morning it invoked me to move everything out of the way of loving Him, pursuing Him, knowing Him, and therefore clearing a way for the Lord. Making a highway to God that is free of traffic, offense, cares of this world, anxiety, fear, clutter, and it open to God, being sensitive to His voice and His calling. And not just sensitive to Him, but a heart that is receptive. A heart that says, "YES" in the wilderness, in the mundane, in the roughness and toughness of life. And then not just receptive, but a heart that is open to God to be responsive to Him, through the way I spend my time, my money, the way I treat others in relationship. The way of my heart effects everything that I am involved in and God is looking with eyes that are fire. Nothing is hidden from Him. The question is, Will I make ready a path for the Lord? Will I wait for Him by fighting for my relationship with Him? By saying no to all the busyness of life, the American dream for His dream, by sitting at His table with His Word as my milk and my meat. Will I make ready a path for the Lord?
