“My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.”

What’s in our hearts makes the difference before God.

Numbers 32:11-12

‘Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the LORD.”

 

2 Chron 25:2. Amaziah “And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a loyal heart.”

Matt 14:30 “But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

But before this He was in Matt14:29 “So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.”

 

1. What does it mean to fully follow the Lord?

2. What does it take to fully follow the Lord?

3. What does the cost of fully following the Lord look like for me?

 

 

 

Prayer point 1: Psalms 86:11 “Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.”

 

Prayer point 2: Dear Lord Take is deeper into Purity of Heart, sincerity of faith and a good conscience. 1 Tim 1:5 “Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith”

 

Prayer point 3: “Father, I want to know Thee, but my cowardly heartfears to give up its toys. I cannot part with them without inward bleeding, and I do not try to hidefrom Thee the terror ofthe parting. I come trembling, but I do come. Please root from my heart all those things which I have cherished so long and which have become a very part of my living self, so that Thou mayest enter and dwell there without a rival.

Then shalt Thou make the place of Thyfeet glorious.

Then shall my heart have no need of the sun to shine in it, for Thyself wilt be the light of it, and there shall be no night there.”
