On Your Heart

Meditation:
“They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts…” (Romans 2:15).

Explanation:
In the Old Testament, God’s commands were written on stone tablets and kept in the tabernacle. Now, we are living according to the New Testament, and when we accept Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior, we become His temple. He lives in us, and He engraves His promises and commands in our hearts. How can you be sure of this? This verse goes on to say that your conscience, or inner man, has a stronger knowledge of what is right and what is wrong; what you should and shouldn’t do. You are drawn to follow the Word of God. That’s the Spirit of God on the inside of you, guiding and directing you. As you follow His leading, your ability to hear and know Him is strengthened. But if you choose to bypass that prompting on the inside, your heart can become hard which will affect your ability to hear Him in the future. Make the decision today to demonstrate that God’s law is written on your heart by quickly obeying His leading. As you do, He’ll guide you down the path of blessing, and you’ll experience the abundant life He has in store for you!

Kapag sinabing kautusan ito’y dapat sundin diba. Subalit sa mga kautusan na alam nating galing, ibinigay ng Diyos iilan lamang ang may pagsisikap na sundin ito. Ngayon sinasabi na isulat sa ating mga puso, ano ba ang ibig ipakahulugan nito sa atin. Ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng “nakasulat sa ating puso”? Parang ang linaw nito na ibinigay na sa atin o iniukit na sa ating puso ang gagawin na lang natin ay ang sundin, ipamuhay at ipagpasalamat sa Diyos. Ibig sabihin ibinigay na sa atin ang mga gagawin natin ang pag-sunod na lang ang problema, sapagkat mahirap kalaban ang sariling isip at pagpapasya.

Heavenly Father, thank You for making Your home in me and for guiding me down the path of peace and blessing. Help me to clearly follow Your promptings all the days of my life and honor You in all I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
