To Where do You Turn Your Heart?

To Where do You Turn Your Heart?19 okt3 min

People have different interests depending on life's circumstances and also depending on the age and other factors. One is mainly interested in playing games, another loves to spend time gardening, another one pursues his business, another is active in the stock market, others go hiking or join festivals, events and parties. To where do you turn your heart? The psalmist prays: Psalm 119 [36]. If we turn our heart to him, if we give the first priority in life to the almighty, eternal creator God, then we can enjoy all the other things that life offers without regrets. If we turn our heart to the holy Lord then we will find his grace, that is revealed in Jesus, who humbled himself and suffered on our behalf on the cross: Philippians 2 [8]. His obedience has won the biggest victory of history, the victory over devil, death, sin and hell. And everyone is invited to join in that victory that lasts forever. Whatever background you come from, whatever hobbies you pursue or situation you are in, you are invited to turn your heart to the Lord.Let's pray with words from Psalm 119 [33 - 37]: Point out your rules, LORD, and I won't disobey. Help me to understand your Law; I promise to obey it with all my heart. Direct me by your commands! I love to do what you say. Make me want to obey you, rather than to be rich. Take away my foolish desires, and let me find life by walking with you.
