Where is your heart?

Isaiah 29:13

13 Therefore the Lord said:





“ Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths

And honor Me with their lips,

But have removed their hearts far from Me,

And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,



Another great Word from the Lord. How many folks talk a good game? We talk about how much we love the Lord and how close we are to God but it that the truth? Thousands of years ago the Prophet Isaiah was dealing with the same thing. Israel would talk about how much they loved God. They would talk about how close they were to God. But Isaiah said that the Lord says their hearts are far from me. Isn't that the same for many inside and outside the church today? For so many their hearts are far from God and is proved by the way they live their lives. Instead of living by the Word of God they live by what man thinks is right or wrong. The same thing was going on in Isaiah's day. God was warning them to get back to a right relationship with Him! God told them not to take counsel from man but from him. When we do that and we follow after God's Word we prove where our heart is.



So what about it today? Where is your heart? Trusting in man or God?
