The Heart Of The Matter
Blessed are the pure in heart, for
they will see God. For where your
treasure is, there will heart will be also.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your strength. Acknowledge and
take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth
below. There is no other. These
commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely
so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from
your heart as long as you live. Teach
them to your children and to their children after them. Above all, guard your heart, for it is the
wellspring of life.

I
seek You with all my heart; do not let me stray from Your commands. For
the Word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any doubled edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing
soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the
heart. Man looks on the outward
appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in
Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

If you confess with your mouth,
“Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved. For it is with the heart that you believe and are justified, and it is
with your mouth that you confess and are saved. You show that you are a letter from Christ,
the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the
living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Do not let your heart s be
troubled. You trust in God, trust also
in Me. Peace I leave with you; My peace
I give unto you. I do not give to you as
the world gives. Do not let your hearts
be troubled and do not be afraid. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you fill find rest for your
souls. Speak to one another with
psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing
and make music in your heart to the Lord.
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am
helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth and with my song will I praise
Him. As it is written, “Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which
God hath prepared for them that love Him.”
