Whole Heart: A Heart to Follow

Our hearts were never designed to be followed, but to be lead by the only heart worth following.
Gen 6:5; Jer 17:9; Prov 28:26 KJV; Mt 15:18-19
David - a man after gods heart. Acts 13:22
1. Fully Dependent on God. Ps 51:5. We are sinful and must depend on God for salvation and forgiveness. Our sin deforms and deceives us. Ps 16:2 The good in me is the God in me. Our dependence on God is directly connected to our understanding of who God is and who we are before Him.
2. Faithfully Obedient to God. Blessing flows out of obedience. Acts 13:22 David followed God in the big and small things, his obedience stemmed from his love for God. Ps 18:1, 103:2-2. Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey my commands."
3. Fearfully Repentant before God. Repentance: a change of mind that results in a change of action. Come before God with a heart that wants to change and become more like God. Don't make excuses for my sin. Ps 51:1-10. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. How we feel about our sin is one of the greatest indicators of how near or far our hearts are from God. Ps 139:23-24
