Greetings in the life-changing Name of Jesus, our Lord and our Savior. It is a joy to once again have opportunity to share the Word of God with you. My prayer today is that this little article will be an encouragement to your life, and serve as a reminder of the things that God has hidden in your heart. – jj daniel

WHERE IS YOUR HEART?

 

“WHERE YOUR HEART IS – YOUR TREASURE IS ALSO!”

.

Life can offer every kind of distraction imaginable! If there is nothing in your life today to distract from the things that God has in mind for you… you can count on them to try to sneak into your life tomorrow, or next week.  It’s all part of the growing process.

.

Remember the story of the “seed” in Matthew 13? Seed was planted in good soil and in rocky soil. Some seed took root, other seed had no roots. The seed planted in the good soil took root and produced fruit. 13:22 speaks of the “cares of life” that came to distract, or “uproot the seed.” This passage speaks of God’s Word, being the seed. When we read and hear the Word of God, and find what God says about us – we need to hang on to that truth, and POSSESS it as our own! Amen? I believe that this same principal holds true for the ‘vision’ and life-direction that God plants in the hearts of His people.

.

Text Box: Write the vision on a billboard, large and clear, so that anyone can read it at a glance and rush to tell the others. These things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, SURELY, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will SURELY come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! 
                        Habakkuk 2:2-3 LB
What has God planted in your heart, in regards to His Kingdom? What in life has come to rob you of those things?

.

The things that God planted in your heart, perhaps years ago – His plans and purpose for your life… is that still the focus of your life? Is that still the treasure, the goal, the thing that you’re moving toward and preparing for, with a passion?  Or, has the enemy of your soul so distracted you with the cares of this world, or with the temptations of his offerings – that you lost sight of those things that God planted in your heart?

.

In Proverb 29:18 “My people perish for lack of knowledge” – the word “PERISH” literally means: “to throw off restraints.”  When we don’t have a GOAL in sight – no VISION to run toward, we throw off all restraints, and flounder around like a marathon-runner who has lost his sense of direction.

.

It is VITAL to our spiritual life – to get hold of vision, recognize the things that God has called us to, and gifted us for; HANG ON to the things that God planted on the inside of you! Don’t allow distractions or discouragement to defeat you!  GOD is GOD, and He is more than able to complete the work that He began in you!  Amen?

.

VISION HAS its OWN TIME-SCHEDULE, AND NO ONE HAS TO KNOCK DOWN DOORS OR BULLDOZE THEIR WAY INTO THAT PLAN!  RELAX!! SEEK JESUS, LEARN HIS WORD AND STRENGTHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. EVERYTHING ELSE WILL SIMPLY UNFOLD IN FRONT OF YOU!  {Ps 31:15, Isa. 46, Ecc 3, Eph 1:9-10, Hab 2:2-3, Job 23:13-14]

.

Be patient, trust God! He is busy perfecting all things that concern you, and He will move you into destiny, if you simply focus on Him!  Your job: Matt 6:33 Heb 12:1
