Why is it a bad idea to “follow your heart?”
Jeremiah 17:9 tells us that it’s a bad idea to “follow your heart” because do you truly know what is lurking in the crevices of your heart?
We as Believers tend to look for the "warm and fuzzies" in the Bible to comfort us; God's word is meant to comfort us. However, God's word is never meant to comfort us in our sins.
Hebrews 4:12 says, "the word cuts like a twoedged sword." The Holy word is the discerner of our thoughts and intents of our heart. Anytime you read or hear the word, your first thoughts should never be thoughts on how the word pertains to others. Your first thoughts should be how God’s word pertains to you. God's word should be used first to clean up YOU!
