Function of the Heart

The heart's only function is to pump blood. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, where oxygen is added to the blood and carbon dioxide is removed from it. The left side pumps blood to the rest of the body, where oxygen and nutrients are delivered to tissues and waste products (such as carbon dioxide) are transferred to the blood for removal by other organs (such as the lungs and kidneys).

Like any other tissue in the body, the muscle of the heart must receive oxygen-rich blood and have waste products removed by the blood. The right coronary artery and the left coronary artery, which branch off the aorta just after it leaves the heart, deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. The heartbeats are evidence that the heart is pumping.


Haha.. so much about the facts of the heart. So let us look at the word of the Lord and what He has to say about the condition of our heart?

Proverbs 15:
" 13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.
14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast."
Proverbs 4:23
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."

There is so much more verses which I could bring out that talks about how the condition of our heart should be and how we need to always guard our hearts! Indeed as I analyse once again how God has made our physical heart, He design it in such a way it is just like any other organ which needs oxygen and is the most important part in the body. Our spirit men in each one of us, represents the heart of God in us and if we deprive it of the Holy spirit, which is the oxygen to this heart, then it will slowly lose its function and hence we will grow to have a "dead" heart for the Lord!
As much as we take in the correct food to keep ourselves healthy, exercise to keep out hearts strong and pumping actively; Similarly, we should also keep eating of the spiritual food and drink of the Holy spirit such that our heart for God will be strong and firm.

Even as we know more of the physical aspect of the Heart, let us once again really keep out spiritual heart in constant check with the lord. Guard it for it is here where God will use it powerfully. as he deposite his compassion in, his love in and his security in to this small heart of yours! Cast out that disbelief, disobdience and deception in your heart today, and allow that willingness and obedience to fill it.

Come today and let God once again renew the heart of stone!
