Heartbeat of God!

Listen to this blog.

He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.

Isaiah 40:11

I can still remember discovering as a child that I could listen to someone's heartbeat. And then, of course with even a toy stethoscope I could listen to my own. When I learned that my heart is a muscle I remember wondering why does my heart not get tired and need to rest. Your heart is the center of your physical body and you cannot live without your heart. You can live without your eyes, ears, hands or feet but when your heart quits beating you are dead.

The first rhythm an unborn child hears is the mother's heartbeat. And the last sign of life is a heartbeat. If the heart is beating, there is life and hope.

Jesus carries His lambs close to His heart. If you are a child of God and a follower of Jesus you can feel the heartbeat of God as you rest in His arms. Once you feel and hear the heartbeat of God, listen for your own. Does your heartbeat sound like God's? Does the rhythm of your heart match the beats of God? If it does you will find your life focusing on the concerns of God. You will remember the widows and orphans in their distress and keep yourself unspotted by the world!

The greatest proof of the existence of God is His heartbeat. As you live this day listen for a beat from God's heart. Be thrilled with the beating of God's heart.

Remember, when you listen for and hear the heartbeat of God there is life and there is hope!
