Does God put things in your heart?

Psalm 37:4 tells us that God grants us the desires of our hearts. That is true, but Philippians 2:13 tells us that God puts those desires in our hearts! If you want to fine tune to His voice, look inside your heart.

Fine Tuning to the Voice

A Sanctified “Wanter” – Part 2

Key Verse: Philippians 2:13

for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose From yesterday’s study we know that God’s voice can be heard in our desires if we stay close to God via daily prayer and Bible reading. That means that we can trust our wants to be the voice of God, based on those conditions. Our printed key verse says: “God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.” The New Living Translation clarifies this verse even better: “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.” Some Christ followers will say, “I never hear God’s voice” and believe that to be true. In fact, that is a lie from the evil one! First, God has spoken to all of us through the Bible—God’s very breath! (2 Timothy 3:16) Second, our scripture for yesterday and today is clear: God speaks to us through the desires of our hearts, the desires He puts in us!

It is true that God, at times, speaks to people asking them to do things they don’t want to do. Jonah, of the Old Testament, is a perfect example of that, but I believe it is more common for God to lead His people through the desires of their hearts. Psalm 37:4 tells us that God grants us the desires of our hearts. That is true, but Philippians 2:13 tells us that God puts those desires in our hearts! If you want to fine tune to His voice, look inside your heart. What are your deepest desires?

Father, as I stay in tune with you on a daily basis, I will trust the desires of my heart as your voice speaking to me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Can soulmates be friends?

Yes, soul mates can be platonic. A platonic soul mate relationship is a friendship that goes virtually as deep as any friendship can.

Yes, soul mates can be platonic. A platonic soul mate relationship is a friendship that goes virtually as deep as any friendship can. Nuñez explains these friendships won't feel like other "normal" friendships but rather you are friends "at a soul level" and likely shared a profound and instant recognition upon first meeting. And don't underestimate the power these connections can have. According to Richardson, our platonic soul mates can be just as important in our lives as romantic soul mates. "If you think of earthly life as a temporary journey for the soul, as some spiritual people do, you'll want to have interesting, supportive companions for the trip—just like any character in an epic story or legend picks up companions along the way," she adds. It's also very possible (and even likely) that you'll have more than one platonic soul mate throughout your life, and even more than one at the same time. "You can meet new soul mates all throughout your life. They don't have to be a best friend from childhood—it could be someone from work or someone you meet in your 50s," Nuñez says. Richardson also notes that some soul mates come and go, and some are around for the long haul. Regardless of their duration, these connections are a fundamental part of the journey. "Just like the human body needs food and water, the soul requires companion soul mates," she says.
