A Heart Thing
Galatians 5:16, I say then, walk by the Spirit, and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh.
When I was very young, I had a teacher who was constantly telling our class that idle hands are the devil's workshop. She never explained what it meant, so it fell on deaf ears.
Many years later, I thought about that saying and I realized that it should be an idle mind instead. My own experience taught me the truth with that little saying.
Psalm 51:10, create a clean heart in me oh God and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
When you have time on your hands, you can experience some bad things if you don't keep your brain on positive things. satan loves using idle time for his purposes.
You would probably start out, complaining to yourself about how unfair life is. You would think about your disappointments, your failures, either real or imagined. As you sit there thinking, more than likely you would start feeling sorry for yourself, and all of your thoughts would become exaggerated.
The Bible tells us that our hearts can lead us to sin. This is a big reason that we covet what belongs to our neighbor. Envy and hate usually follow behind. Without realizing it we are following satan's orders, and we start justifying everything we feel in our hearts period.
Romans 8: 7, the mind set on the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit to God's law.
In my own experience, I found out that if I talk to our heavenly father, or start to read the Bible, satan and negativity leave. As you concentrate on what our Lord and savior Jesus Christ did for you, you will start to get your faith back again and everything in this life will start to look better. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes i was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen!
Praise The Lord!
