The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord,
Like the
rivers of water;
He turns it wherever He wishes.

Proverbs 21:1

 

Solomon said in the Book of Proverbs that God holds the hearts of every man in his hand and turns them as He pleases. In Haggai 1:14, God stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel and those God called to rebuild the temple, and their work prospered and bore fruit because of the divine motivation of their heart.

 

When King Xerxes tossed and turned in his bed unable to sleep, God touched his heart to remember Mordecai the Jew who had uncovered a plot to overthrow him (Esther 6:1-3) Mordecai thought that the good deed was long forgotten but God never forgot, God never forgets, and He works through the circumstances of life.

 

 

In the same way that God hardened the heart of Pharoah against Moses and the children of Israel so that their divine deliverance would speak for generations of God’s power, your heart is in His hands.

 

Do you feel like giving up while praying for situations or people? Don’t lose heart because prayer is not empty words but an acknowledgment that there is a superior realm that controls the visible and invisible worlds. And the King of this realm is the king of your heart. When He says yes, no one can say no.

SECURE YOUR HEART

A house built on the rock stands forever.
By faith, we begin to look not at our weakness but believe that we have the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Righteousness is right standing before God. In His presence, your heart is secured.

SHOWER YOUR SPIRIT

Despite taking great care of our physical appearance, so many of us are discouraged, frustrated, fearful, angry, bitter and offended inside – and this is what shows through our words and behaviour, no matter how much we try and hide it. Why? Because our heart is not cleansed and our mind not refreshed.

CONVICTED BY YOUR CONSCIENCE

Often, the loudest rebuke is the one from the inside of us. Because the motive of our heart cannot be concealed, and no one knows us better than we do ourselves. So, if we are convicted by our conscience, there is hope for us.
