Adventures Start in the Heart

  Life, Adventure or Battle

By William M. Self

Every Adventure starts somewhere

The treasures in your heart will determine

If your adventure is good or bad

 

 

Adventures Start in the Heart

Every Adventure starts somewhere.

We can look at dates and places

where we started an Adventure.

Maybe it was the first day of college

 that started your career, your wed-

ding day or the birth of your child.

Maybe it was a short Adventure one day

at a theme park, looking for as many

thrills as you can get before the park closes.

But Adventures don’t start at an

address you can find with your GPS.

Adventures start in the heart.

The heart is the command center of your life.

Our Adventures start with a desire in the heart.

Jesus said… 

“A good man out of the good treasure of the heart

bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of

the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Matthew 12:33-35

David was a good example of a man whose

heart took him on an Adventure of good and evil.

When David looked upon Bathsheba,

the lust in his heart led him on an

Adventure of adultery, lies, and murder.

Yet, this same David had a love for God,

and that heart after God led him on an

Adventure of forgiveness, power, and blessing.

The Scriptures reveal that our heart is the

control center, or command center, of our life.

Out of the heart comes thoughts, actions,

 beliefs, attitudes, and ultimately our eternity.

“If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in

your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it

is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:9-11

The “GOOD ADVENTURE” starts in the heart

that “Believes” and“Trusts” in the Lord.

Psalms 37:4 says...

“Delight yourself in the LORD and

he will give you the desires of your heart.”

God wants you to have a wonderful life…

Full of great Adventures.

He wants to fill your heart with good treasures.

     Delight in Him and He will give

 you your dreams and desires.

 

 Scripture Reading

Psalm 37:3-6 NIV

3 Trust in the LORD and do good;

dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Delight yourself in the LORD

and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD;

trust in him and he will do this:

6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,

the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
