The Well-Insulated Heart

Tuesday, October 31, 2023

Have you ever experienced heat loss in your home through an opening, a crack around a doorway or window? You can feel heat escaping and cold coming in. A house that has openings, or doesn't have enough insulation will always be subject to whatever's outside. Luke 2:19 and 2:51 say, "Miriam (Mary) treasured these things in her heart." She was a deep person, keeping the things of the Lord as treasures in her heart. We must do the same to have a strong inner life. Like a well insulated house, cultivate a strong sense of the Word in your life and heart, as treasures inside you. With no devotional or inner life, you'll be like a house with no insulation. When it's bad, cold, or tough outside, you'll be depressed, sorrowful, and up and down with the world. But if you keep a strong inner life, an insulated heart, inner treasures, inner relationship with God, when the storms of life come and the cold winds of life blow in your direction, it's not going to touch your heart, your peace, your faith or your joy. Because you have a well insulated heart.
