The heart of my desire is You Jesus...
In Ezekiel chapter 40 you begin to read about the building of the new temple. I always ask God as I am reading, what I consider boring, what is so important about me knowing all of this? When I got to chapter 41 versus 3 through 4, I kept reading them over and over again. The inner sanctuary..... He said to Ezekiel, "This is the Most Holy Place." The Most Holy Place was the innermost Room in the temple. It was where the Ark of the covenant was kept and where God's glory was said to dwell.
I got up again this morning to read it over again. All that kept coming to me was our heart, and how important that organ is! It's the organ that circulates the blood, the vital CENTER of one's being.
There is always what I call, a golden nugget, in God's Word, no matter how boring a chapter or 2 may be. This spoke so loud to me. There are hundreds of scriptures spoken of the heart in The Bible.
Psalm 139: 23 Search me, oh God, and know my heart.... Matthew 6:21 Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.... Dt 11:18 Fix these words of mine in your heart... I don't even know what my favourite one is, but I love this one ..... 2 Corinthians 1: 21 He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guarantee what is to come. For now His Spirit dwells in my heart. My body, but His temple.
All of this from a few verses of a boring chapter LIT UP , all because I asked God, why do I need to know this?
All for Your glory Lord
