Title: How Weak Your Heart (Ezekiel 16:30)
Contents The word of the LORD says, "You are doing all these things, and it is the deeds of conscientious Hades. How weak your heart is..." This is a groaning rebuke. It is the lamentation of the God who has thorn in the mercy of sin because he has a weak heart.
1. A weak heart, like the Ephesians, is that they have given up their first love and become cold and cold (Rev 2).
Like the Laodiceans, the zeal of first love gradually cooled and became apathetic. It cannot be said that the soul has lost all its benefits in God. But the old passion waned and I felt a dim sense of indifferent devotion.
A weak mind plays without strength. A person who suffers from this does not feel like he will bear any great effort. It can be said that these are souls in a state of insensitivity. A weak mind is an unhealthy tremor, which is a state of anxiety that lacks stability or solidity.
2. Symptom of a weak heart A weak heart cannot bear even the slightest fear because it cannot protect its heart, so it succumbs to evil influences. A weak heart wants to do good, but cannot do it, so it cannot carry out its responsibilities before God and cannot dedicate itself faithfully, thus becoming a failure in service. Soon, the heart is full of desire, but the body is weak. The peculiarity of God's people is that they often become aware of sin. But he will be grieved for his sin and should seek forgiveness with tears of repentance. However, if you do not repent, you have no hope and it is a symptom of weakness.
3. The danger of a weak heart If humans accept God's wonderful love in a cold way, it is an insult to that wonderful love. The Holy Spirit's words to the church in Laodicea were, "Whether you are cold or hot" (Revelation 3:15).
A weak heart is always in danger of being invaded by the devil.
It is pathetic because it has the weakness of being easily slipped by even a slight touch. The house is built on sand, so if it is quiet, the status quo will be maintained, but if the wind blows, rain, or flood water hits it, there is a great risk of it collapsing.
When your love for Christ grows cold, you are on the road to destruction.
Conclusion: Therefore, you must repent sincerely and have a strong heart with a passionate confession of love for the Lord.
