The Heart of Jesus 


As I started to write this, I had nothing but issues with the tablet, the keyboard and the word program, but I carried on and persevered. You see, there are things of this world that are manipulated to cause us angst. Many times, we ask God “why me” when we should really be asking for strength to overcome, to persevere and to overcome. The question should not be “why did You allow this to happen” but rather we should be speaking the heart of God and leaning on His strength and wisdom to overcome. Think about this for a moment, if you want to build up your body, you do not sit around in front of a big screen TV in a plump recliner and expect to get buff, rather you go to the gym expecting there to be some resistance and pain as you work through the cycle and use the resistance to strengthen.  


Now, I’m not saying that we should intentionally place ourselves in harm's way but rather we should seek the counsel of those wiser, strength training coaches, scholarly mentors, Jesus, to help us grow in body, wisdom, and spirit. You see the heart of Jesus is for all of us to be filled with love and compassion for God and for each other. Proverbs 3:5-6 does not say lean on your own understanding, rather it says lean NOT on your own understanding, trust in the Lord. In all situations, don’t look around for someone else to blame, rather seek the heart of Jesus, let Him show you the path to take. Reading on a bit further, the Scriptures also say, “Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom, instead fear {respect) the Lord and turn from evil”. You can take the victory lap but make sure to acknowledge His part in the win. I can, at times, feel compelled to “flip over the tables in the Temple courts” and I have to remind myself to calm down and seek His will before I throw the tablet and the keyboard across the room. The devil loves the chaos and anger, Jesus loves all His children. Remember to take a breath, a spiritual breath through the power of the Holy Spirit and seek His heart before losing it over something that really doesn’t rate the angst or anger. 


This week, Pastor Todd, will share a message with us, a message and a challenge that will help to share with those around us in a powerful way. Please plan to join us either in person or online at 10:30 AM this Sunday. The service will be broadcast online on our website (https://www.mainavefellowship.ca/socialplatforms), or you are more than welcome to join us in person at 402 Main Ave. W in Sundre, AB.
