The desires of my heart?

The intellect. The heart. The Hebrew word is translated "heart" by the 1600's English translators, but in Hebrew it is translated, the inner man, mind, will, heart, from Strong's #3820. We need to have our intellect satisfied when we spend time in church or in personal time with God. I hear that our youth leave the faith at alarming rates these days. Many youth have intellectual battles as they go on to secular higher education. Is it possible that we have lopsized worship services? We need "spirit AND truth", Jesus said. Youth leaders, worship leaders, praise singers, pastors, please study and go deep in the Word for us...we need it. Our "heart" needs it. We can fight the battles if we are well armed with the Word. Give us the Word! Please! Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine ....(inner man, mind, will) heart.What a promise.

Reading the Bible

Just simply reading the Bible is a WORKOUT. It is just as hard as a workout routine, not physically, but as far as self-discipline.. An old mentor of mine said, "always do the hardest thing first everyday and your day will go better". Read your Bible...do it first if possible and you will get a strength that you never thought you had.
