The heart is the part of us that optimizes who we are. Learning to conquer the many things that plaque our heart is truly an art form; and by this truth total submission and complete yieldedness to the will of God is our masterpiece. In Proverbs 17:3 we get a perfect illustration of how our heart is purified in God’s hands. Trial by fire is the Lord’s perfect plan to rid us of even our smallest impurities. In these trials we find what really resides inside of us, we are melted down to the simplest form giving God the opportunity to mold us. What instruction remains for us when our world is a flame? Micah 6:9 casts the vision for the soul in tribulation. And even as we heed I Peter 5:6; we are assured of the promise of the Lord. “though weeping may last for the night; joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). So much can come against us when we have committed our way to him; but through it all we must not become bitter. Because bitterness will destroy our hope. In the difficulties of trials we must never lose our joy for serving God. The joy that comes with service to Him is confirmation that we are dwelling in His will. Our hearts must stay right before the Lord or our way will otherwise perish. When we sense our hearts going astray we must flood ourselves with the word of God as it will guide our way (Psalm 119:105) making it prosperous and giving us good success (Joshua 1:8). In order to successfully walk a life that positively and constantly effects eternity we must keep our heart flooded with the love of God. It is true love of God that will drive us to endure whatever we must according to the call placed on our lives. The smallest matters of the heart direct us to the greatest results of our future.
