Unshakeable Life Declaration #4: I Will Have An Overflowing Heart

The things that flow out of your heart shape your life, form your boundaries, and define who you are.  Your mouth will speak what is in your heart.  In Luke 6:45, Jesus said, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good...for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."  This is why a secret to an incredible life is to carefully examine with what you fill your heart.

What is the abundance in your heart?  What is your heart filled with?  Your heart can be filled with your own ways (Prov. 14:14).  Your heart can be filled with lies (Acts 5:3).  What does your heart say when difficult times come?  What does your heart do when God speaks?  Does it respond to Him?

Today, I want to challenge you [and me, of course] to begin to fill you heart with the Word of God until it flows out of you.  Align your heart with the Word so that its immediate response in any situation is to agree with God.  Set your heart to seek God in every circumstance like David in Psalm 27:7-8 when he said..."

7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; 
       be merciful to me and answer me.

 8 My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" 
       Your face, LORD, I will seek.

There are many voices in life that try to get our attention, many voices that seek to shape our life and destiny.  But the most important voice in our lives is the voice of God that speaks loudly and clearly in our hearts.  The voice of God is heard most distinctly when our hearts are overflowing with the Holy Spirit, overflowing with the things of God.

Make this your declaration...

I will fill my heart with God's Word, prayer and praise.  For out of my heart overflow, the inner voice of God is heard clearly, powerfully, and distinctly.
