The King of My Heart

One of things I’ve really focused on this semester at MVNU in my work and my personal life is returning to something I read about years ago, asking us an important question: Who (or what) is on the throne of your heart?

A couple of verses that stand out:

Matthew 6:21: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

I Peter 3:20: But in your hearts, revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

Revelation 3:20: Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Whoever sits on the throne of your heart is who you worship and serve; and if we aren’t careful, depending on who we serve (who or what we make an idol) can influence our thoughts with toxicity and lies. Scripture tells us where our treasure is, that is also where our heart is. What do you hold near and dear to you? Who do we depend on? That is what you have made the king of your heart. Who you’ve put on the throne. This song is a declaration to recommit to having Christ be the King of your Heart!

The grace when I hit the bottom

Today’s Monday Motivation comes from Colton Dixon and his song, My Light.

Psalm 119 reminds us, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

I’ve tried on my own strength, but I just trip and fall
Put my faith in the wrong things, turns out after all
You’re the answer for every problem
You’re the grace when I hit the bottom
The lamp unto my feet, oh Lord, let it shine

Here’s Colton’s lyric video:

Name a fruit you might eat for breakfast.

We Believe It!

Today, Mike and Abby shared some Scripture relating to this year’s upcoming Lifeline theme, “I Believe It.”

Abby read a passage starting with her favorite verse, Hebrews 11:1— “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.” By declaring our belief in Christ, we are also making a statement of faith. We can be convicted of something we know is true, even when we don’t see it with our eyes.

Mike read John 20:31, which says, “but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” This verse points out the wonderful guarantee that we have as a result of our belief–life in Jesus’s name! This is a guarantee that we can rest in as believers, no matter the circumstances.

Shout out to Alyssa for correctly guessing today’s Name That Tune, Jesus Can by Austin French! She wins TWO gift cards to Watt’s Restaurant, since last week was a stumper.

Thanks for listening!

-Mike and Abby
