HOUSE HIM
Proverbs 23:19-28Devotional:- “My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.” (V. 26) NKJV
No man can actually have the best of God until you are really ready to house Him. As a man that married a woman will have to house her so also in Christ, though He is our husband yet we have to house Him (Ephesians 5:28-29). The scripture we read today is the wise counsel of God to us as His son, saying “… son give me your heart.” This is because until you give your heart to a lover you cannot totally have the enjoyment of the fill of His love.
You will observe that when a man is truly in love, his entire mind is rapped into the love for his beloved. He cannot help longing for him. Some will even have the picture with them always and anywhere. Just to see it and feel loved. A true lover will always long for their beloved. He does not stay late or long outside because the beloved is in the house waiting.
Friend, do you really love God. Does His love fill your heart or is your heart sold out to Him. This will be reflected on how much you long for His presence and His place (Psalms 122:1). How much do you love to read His love letters to you, which is His word (the bible)? How many hours do you spend with Him in praises, and worship and prayers daily. Give no room to other gods. Let your heart be filled with His love alone (Ephesians 4:27). Then the thought of fear, death, darkness, diseases, bad dream and sin will vanish in your life. You are in for glory.
Prayer: Lord, let my heart be filled with your love.
