Our daily reading tonight included Ps 119:32.
32 "I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart..."
This verse expresses an important truth.
We have many on CF 'Pushing' the commandments as if they were central to salvation.
Can I suggest this was never the case - His aim was not primarily that we should obey a set of rules, but to have a loving heart.
In fact without a right heart - we cannot obey the commandments.
So the central matter in our salvation is our heart.
"Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me..." Ps 51:10
Salvation is a gift - when we receive it, He changes our heart.
Nothing else matters - make this your one aim - to have a renewed heart - then you will walk in His ways and not stray.
