THE RUNAWAY HEART by Robert Soto
March 2, 2010
Jeremiah 17:9-10 "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve."
Life is full of surprises. As I sat by my computer yesterday my heart decided it did not want to be normal, so it decided to go out of control. It decided that normal was not the trend to follow, so it decided to go off to the races. Sensing that something was wrong, we went to the doctor. The doctor did not like what he saw so it was off to the heart hospital emergency room. The ER people did not like what they saw so now I am condemned to a hospital room where I will be poked and examined as they try to figure out what to do.
So the heart is on my mind right now. Medication can control the heart that keeps us alive, but it will not control the spirit that lives within. That can only be tamed by God our Creator. Jeremiah wrote that "The Lord searches the heart which is beyond cure and deceitful." Are you struggling with the spirit within? Look to God who searches the heart and is able to cure it.
