A heart that pleases God
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The importance of having a heart that pleases God is the topic discussed in this sermon. The speaker emphasizes that we often don't know what is in our own hearts and need God to test us through people, situations, and environments that influence our lives. Time and trials also reveal what is hidden in our hearts. The speaker uses examples such as Solomon and Lucifer to illustrate how even the most perfect creation can have something inside that comes to light, distorting their perspective and hurting them. The Psalmist David and Deuteronomy 8 are referenced to show the importance of asking God to examine our hearts and bring out what is inside.
The heart is the most important thing to God, and it is what attracts His favor and blessing. Therefore, we must examine our hearts and allow God to shape and form them through a process of testing and experiences. We must seek to have a healthy and honest heart that is pleasing to God, and we can do this by filling our hearts with the word of God, making a pact with the truth, giving our lives to God, asking Him to continually search our hearts, and putting the acquisition of a well-formed heart above all other goals in life.
To have a well-formed heart, we need to ask God to continually search our hearts and reveal anything that is not pleasing to Him. We should prioritize acquiring a heart that pleases God above all other goals in life. This should be the driving force of our lives. When we have a heart that pleases God, it will bring happiness, fruitfulness, and abundance to our lives.We started in an almost unexpected way a subject last Sunday about the heart, and God shaped it a little differently as I was dealing with it here from the pulpit, but we have been meditating on the importance of a heart that pleases God , I would say that this could be the title of this double meditation, no, a heart that pleases God, that is what we want for our life, that is certainly what I want, that it be pleasing to my heavenly Father. A heart that when He looks at it He can see something that brings him a smile, and the goal of our life should be that.
Many times we do not even know what is in our own heart, one does not know what is in the heart of a person, as I was saying, even people who have been very close to us, and that is why we need God, as we were saying, to test us, through the people, the influences that we have around us, the places to which we are going to submit, our schools, our university, a seminar, a long-term relationship, an environment where we meet, a city where we are going to live, a including culture, we have to be careful to discern the things that are entering our lives, because these things are going to enter our hearts.
