The Heart of the Master

Uni-verse 214/10,000 For better through verse Jeremiah 31 v 33

Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.


When we know and love God, we must hide his Word in our hearts as a lover would hide and cherish the letters of his beloved. What is the meaning of the word, “ heart” –it is comprised of hear + t . We need to hear God’s Word and apply it to our thoughts, our temperament, our tongues, our talents, our time and our targets. The end result would be the heart or core or “couer”, the essence of our being out of which we live. It will affect our inward parts and keep us in intimacy with God.

When God’s law is written on our hearts, it is being transferred nine inches – from our heads to our hearts. When we apply it to all areas of our lives-thoughts, emotions, speech, abilities, schedule and our goals- the transference has happened. The Word is fulfilled: “ I … will be their God and they shall be my people.” The Wipro tagline, “ Applying thought” is replaced by “ Applying God’s thought” in our lives. For when we think on the lines of the Word, we are thinking the thoughts of God. When we emote on the lines of the Word, we are feeling the emotions of God. When we speak on the lines of the Word, we are speaking the words of God. When we use our talents or abilities on the lines of the Word- we are multiplying them. When we take time to learn, understand and apply God’s Word, all our times will be in His hands. We are blessed and gain power, wisdom, grace, joy, security, peace and blessedness. We are also giving ourselves a Master check up every day.

When we apply God’s Word to our targets or life goals( yearly, monthly, weekly or daily) that we set for ourselves in different areas of our life, profession and ministry, He becomes our silent but active partner in realizing these targets and bringing it to fruition for His greater glory and in His time. No target becomes unattainable, no goal impossible for nothing is too difficult for Him. A life that is circumscribed by the Word of God is a heart that is circumcised unto God.
