I would lay in bed and hear the sound of my heartbeat. The rhythm was off. With every early beat, the heart would have to pump fast and hard to catch up. I feel like I have a constant lump in my chest. This usually would pass after a few weeks. But this last time has lasted long enough to affect my every day. For over 6 months my body has had to work harder to function, often leaving me fatigued and constantly dizzy.
When the heart is out of rhythm it has to work harder. This has me thinking of the spiritual life, not just the physical. When our spiritual heart gets out of the rhythm of Gods word, the very heart of God, we cannot accomplish all the tasks he has before us with ease.
Disobedience to God’s word leads our hearts to be out of Rhythm from what the Lord has for us.
Psalm 119:11
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you
When our spiritual heart rhythm is not in sink with our God, we have all kinds of spiritual symptoms and some of those even cross over into the physical.
Spiritually, we may not hear His voice with the same clarity.
We may not have the same spiritual discernment and direction.
Because of this, our physical life can be impacted. We may get depressed, we may see our ministries dwindling, we may see our relationships suffer and many other signs that our spiritual heartbeat is not in Rhythm.
Just like my physical heart now needs medication, my spiritual heart needs the medication of the word of God. With that word of God, I must hide it in my heart and walk in obedience to it. My heart beats with my father. He is The Rhythm of My Heart and I pray that I stay in sync with Him and all His great works for me.
