What struck me today was how easy it is to harden my heart. We each make a thousand little decisions each day and I can pay myself on the back for not doing anything all that bad. But all the while my heart is not soft and receptive to what God wants. My thousand decisions might make me look good with other people but am I really demonstrating faith hope and love to others? The Hebrews wandered for 49 years in the desert complaining yet God promised them great things ahead. Joel was frustrated with his culture because the people were reluctant to follow God’s teaching. It is sobering that we will give an account of our lives and He is very discerning of our thoughts and intentions. He lives us far more than we can imagine and I want my response to grow in love to Him.
