We had a miracle take place in our home the other day– We got a letter in the mail from the tax department. I know what you’re thinking. “Since when do miracles come disguised in NYS Tax Department official envelopes?” It said we had made some mistakes in our calculations, and so the amount of our refund would be different than we had calculated . Even though it was in our favor, my husband (aka “tax man”) was offended that he could have made a mistake…so he went to investigate.
Our tax documents were in a filing cabinet, newly moved to the basement, in a little nook near the furnace. We don’t usually have a reason to go there, but praise God he did that day! While looking over the documents he smelled gas…and after closer examination found a gas leak in the main (don’t ask me where or what the gas is even for, let’s say he’s “tax man” AND “knows all the things about the house that his wife has no clue about man”). We called National Grid, they came over and found not one, but 2 gas leaks! A disaster had been avoided.
Unfortunately, National Grid can’t do much about another kind of leak that can cause a great deal of damage…Heart leaks. The Bible says, “guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life” (Proverbs 4:23) Whatever is in our hearts leaks out. Everything. Be it good things or bad things…they bubble up like a spring and inevitably leak out. Sometimes in slow, steady leaks, and sometimes like a geyser.
Are you on the verge of a disaster? Does your heart need some fine tuning? Now is a good time to ask God to point out anything in your heart that doesn’t belong, and seek His help in replacing it with what does.
