Rhythmic Freedom

I’ve heard that the bible uses the word Heart a total of 762 times. Then I heard that when you add an S to heart to make the word Hearts, you then add another 114 times it is found in the bible.

762 + 114 = 876

876 mentions of heart(s).

What does this tell us?

It tells us that we must pay special attention to our heart, what is in our hearts and the hearts of others.

Guarding our hearts does not mean that we place a wall or a block of ice around it. No. We must guard our heart to keep it pure and healthy. Keeping our hearts healthy means we are careful about how we take care of it; do we feed our heart love or do we feed our heart criticism? Do we place trust in our heart or do we place despair? Do we talk harshly to our hearts or do we talk gently? Are we forgiving, so are hearts can have rhythmic freedom or do we hold on to offensives and restrict its movement?  My Readers, take care of your heart. Take care of the hearts around you. You don’t have to live with a hard heart.

Eph. 1:18 “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.”
