Get on Beat

Psalm 26:2 "Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind.   

The physical condition of our hearts reveal a lot about our health. How much we exercise, the types of food we eat, and etc. Let's continue the "Change of Heart" post from Monday. The heart is a vital organ, it is actually the first sign of life in the womb of an expectant mother. A normal heartbeat is steady and often times beats to a rhythm. The pace of your heart is indicative of the condition of your heart at the moment. For example, a fast heartbeat can indicate anxiety and puts stress on the heart which could negatively alter your heart's condition over time. Contrarily, a slow heartbeat can indicate an interruption in the electrical pathway of the heart affecting the function of other parts of the body as well. See, the condition of your heart is critical. 

Let's look at it from a spiritual perspective. Your heart is the place you feel your emotions, most importantly it's where you feel God's presence, His love. The moment you stop feeling within your heart is the moment your heart stops beating spiritually. God places His desires for you within your heart and there you will feel what it is you need to do as He guides your footsteps. In order for you to be on one accord with God you must be moving at the pace He has set for your life, within your heart. What will God find when He examines your heart? Are you on beat? Or has your heart stopped beating spiritually? It's time to get on beat with God, don't slow down and don't move too fast. Go at the steady rate that He is setting for you.
