CHECK YOUR HEART

Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 9-10

"The hearts of the wise lead them to do right, and the hearts of the foolish lead them to do evil." Ecclesiastes 10:2 NLT

Have you seen advertisements for the little mobile, use your two thumbs, to get a cardio reading gadgets?

They can tell you whether your heart is beating normally, is in a-fibrillation or in arrhythmia. 

A portable, hand-held EKG machine, of sorts.

Well, don't you wish that little tech-toy would also detect your heart's intent?

When you go to respond in a heated argument, you could just hold your two thumbs on the monitoring pad--VOILA, whether you need to speak or not!

When you give an answer to a question in which your opinion is asked, you could use the little machine--POOF, whether or not you to say what you think, or hold it for another time--or not at all.

When you have a very good 'prayer request' and feel like sharing it with another 'prayer partner', you might hold tightly to the gadget--BAM, your answer on the screen--keep this thing to yourself.

In all seriousness, don't we need to monitor our hearts more closely?

Investigate the reasons we are doing the things we do, repeating the things we go back to and speaking what we're sharing with the world.

Are our hearts wise or evil?

Are our hearts showing God lives in them or Satan has taken up residency?

Let's spend a few minutes in prayer monitoring our hearts!
