Good Morning! Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it. It amazes me today, how after all the time I have been in Recovery and all the things I've learned. That my heart and mind still want play games with me. You see I believe that your heart and the way you think go hand in hand. But I do think the heart has a lot more power and influence over the final action your mind has set. Take for instance yesterday as I went to get a soda at a local convenience store, there I was looking at the Big, New, Walk in Cooler they had full of beer. The things that started going through my head. In this Vs Jer says the heart is beyond cure with deceit. I don't think this is true. For the more Gods love and His word is in your heart the less it will deceive you. Even as my mind was sitting there telling me yesterday, Ditty look at all these new kinds and look theres your old favorite. My heart was telling me another story. It was reminding me of the PAIN and TROUBLES that, that stuff brought in my life and to people I loved. And I went and got a Soda. I say the Heart and Mind go hand in hand, but now I think I am wrong about that. Because the mind is the devils playground but the heart is where Jesus Christ lives. If you have asked him to. And the more of his word you put there, the more it pushes the deceit of your heart out. And like me yesterday I listened to my heart and got out of there. So today work on the Deceit of your heart, by putting Gods Word there. For, I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve. Vs 10. So don't let your heart deceive you (or your mind) they both need God. And if you don't believe that then, you are only deceiving yourself and the truth is not in you. HABD!
