Referring to an Old
Testament prophecy from Isaiah, Jesus pointed out an ineffective
human tendency to deal with the difficulties of life by hardening ourselves
down deep inside. “For the hearts of this
people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they
have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal
them” (Matthew 13:15 NASB).
The Savior wanted to
heal the people of His day, but their inner dullness and deadness prevented it.
In Psalm 119:70 the writer penned what often happens deep with us: Our “hearts” become “callous and unfeeling...”
Over 2,000 years after
the birth of the Messiah have things really changed? Many people of our day
have experienced so much disappointment, the death of so many dreams, and such
a gigantic chasm between what they hoped would be and what actually is … that
they unwittingly turn to lifestyles, practices, and habits to medicate the
incredible pain and disappointment they carry because of their yearning for
abundant life has never blossomed into being.
Biblically a healthy
heart is soft,
sensitive, perceptive , receptive, understanding, clean and
feeling.
"I’ll pour pure water
over you and scrub you clean. I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in
you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart
that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it
possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands." Ezekiel 36:
