One-minute read.
“He spoke to their heart,” the Hebrew words for “he encouraged them” speak volumes about our connections with each other and the Savior. Elisha speaks directly to the discouragement and fear the people experience, assuring them the Lord has more power than any human army.
Jesus knows our hearts and speaks directly to them. When we have life-giving conversations, we talk to people’s hearts. The cords that bind us come from the heartstrings that connect us.
Fear drags our hearts and minds into turmoil, but Jesus dispels the anxious emotion with His grace and peace. Overcoming the world, Christ shares His strength with us by connecting our hearts to His. As we follow and grow in our faith, sharing what we have found with others, we replace fear with the joy of the Lord, knowing we have all we need in Him.
Have heart conversations today. Start with the Lord, then with others. Connect on a deeper level, speak to people’s negative emotions, and remind them of the God we serve. Nothing conquers fear like the unconditional love of Jesus, bringing light into the darkness and dispelling lies with divine truth. Remember, the power with us from the Lord far outweighs anything the enemy throws at us.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for speaking directly to our hearts, illuminating the doubt and discouragement, and eliminating it. Please help us focus on Your power and not get distracted by the enemy’s ploys.
IJNIP. Amen
