Matters of the heart

Scripture

The New International Version Chapter 1

1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the LORD moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:

2 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:

“ ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. 3 Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them. 4 And in any locality where survivors may now be living, the people are to provide them with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.’ ”

1. God moved on Cyrus’s heart ( Proverbs 21:1

2. In the book of Exodus God Hardens Pharoahs heart

3. but hear in Ezra he softens Cyrus’s heart ( he opens up his bowels of mercy to have compassion and act favorably towards Israel)

and i was blessed by Gods range of ability to move on our behalf ( in one instance he hardens a heart and on and in this instance he softens

we deal with people at times who’s heart is indifferent towards an opinion or that is not there own

there heart is hard for security or stubborness, they don’t want anyone to see there inability to see

(Talked with TERI)

Proverbs 4:23 LEB

With all vigilance, keep your heart, for from it comes the source of life.

King James Version Chapter 4

23  Keep thy heart with all diligence;

For out of it are the issues of life.

sometimes we have to pray God change there heart

allow them to see the situation another way ...
