He won over the hearts of the men of Judah so that they were all of one mind. They sent word to the king, “Return, you and all your men.” 2 Samuel 19:14
Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz. Therefore, the armed men of Moab cry out, and their hearts are faint. Isaiah 15:4
“Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I let them inquire of me at all? Ezekiel 14:3
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5
Recently I read the phrase “Nothing happens in this world that doesn’t start in the hearts of men” in Matthew Kelly’s writings. I knew the Bible talked about the hearts of men indicating our hearts need to be turned to God in order to do good. The heart leads the man to good or evil.
Our leaders today are placing soldiers around territories they would like to annex whether the area wants annexation or not. Other leaders are also placing soldiers attempting to keep the annexations from happening. These actions had to start in the heart of someone. These actions do not seem like all the hearts are in sync with loving God with all their hearts and with all their souls and with all their strength.
Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, please interact in the hearts of these leaders and keep Satan from encouraging them to harm their nations or opposing nations. Interfere with evil intentions and protect the citizens involved. Please cleanse their hearts. In Jesus name, Amen.
