I am currently studying Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby. This study should be done by me at least every 5 years instead of the 20 it has been for me. So powerful! I will be sharing quotes from todays study throughout the day as I chew them over in my mind and in my soul. May you be blessed...and challenged! This first one has been heard quite often, yet the truth is still so powerful for where my heart should be regarding all circumstances. Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God. Bob Pierce (founder of World Vision and Samaritans Purse) What breaks the heart of God? Simply put SIN. I confess that I have gotten so used to the word, as well as to His grace, that Ive lost sight of how it breaks the heart of God. Think back to a time where you have truly had a broken heart. Remember the mental and the physical pain you endured as you worked through the truth that caused the brokenheartedness. It is so unpleasant to revisit that time, I know, and to certainly remember the pain. Gut-wrenching and long-lasting. Now, step away from what the world has defined as sin, open up His Word to see what the true definition is, and then work on an honest list of what GOD declares as SIN. Ignore the worlds definition, for it is man-made, accommodating the desires of the heart while allowing for some order to still exist through basic sins as our life boundary. Ending this with a question: Do each of the sins that you have now listed truly break your heart as they do Gods or have you diminished them to just a nudge inside, going on with life, unaffected by their existence?
