“And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head. After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.” (Matthew 27:29-31) ...
[Engraving in the heart!] The strength for success, is in the heart!
In December, we make new resolutions for a new year. We make plans for the next month, the next week, and for the next day. Now check yourself to see if you do what you have planned without changing your mind. When things don’t go as planned, there must be a reason. It is due to an attribute; a mind that changes.
You say, “I will surely do it next month,” but it may not go as you planned. Then, all you have to do is make a new resolution again and do it. At the same time, you must control your heart. That is, as you correct the problem, you should control your heart so that you can keep going according to your resolution.
In the end, you can control your heart, rule over it, and subdue it. In this way, at one point you will be able to do everything according to your plan. You will become a man of strength who can do things once you decide to do them. You can do things prosperously in the will of God the Father. Your heart will grow up. If you can accomplish what you have planned, you will accomplish even greater things next time. If you can control and rule over your heart, what is it that you cannot do in the Lord? If you fail to do what you have planned, reflect on yourself, find the reason, and fix it. To that extent, you will improve and be able to accomplish in the Lord what you have planned.
“Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life” (Proverbs 4:23).
