About The Heart

Each day I take one or more verses, beginning at the beginning of the Bible, including the word heart. To that I add a little informal commentary.

Turn My Heart

1 Kings 8:58
May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways and to keep the commands, decrees and regulations he gave our fathers.

Solomon finished talking to God and rose from his knees. At the beginning, he was standing; he must have knelt sometime during the prayer. Once more, he blessed the Israelites.
The blessing begins with praise for God. "Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses." As he continues, he asks God to be with them and to turn their hearts to Him.
I would also ask for God to turn my secret thoughts to Him, my conscience, my soul, my personality, my center. Turn my heart to walk in all His ways, to keep His commands.
