Internal system failure.

Ps 40:12 “…. My heart has failed me”

How often we groan and become anxious when things don’t go well with us. And almost all the time we try to find the answers from without. One such anxious situation of Jacob while his sons had to go through planned plight in Egypt, and this was rocking him through, and he cries  “…All things are against me” Gen 42: 36. If any point of time if you happen to undergo haphazard situation and you are in a helpless condition, then it’s time to investigate to see if there is any internal system failure. David in this verse 12 groans saying “for evils beyond number have surrounded me, my iniquities have overtaken me so  that I am not able to see they are numerous than my head and my heart has failed me.”  How often we suppress the inner voice that comes from the Precious heart that Christ connects with.  Due to our presumptuous sin we entrap our self and are guilty resulting to breakdown and then try to manage and fabricate the situation with weak solutions in order to suppress the guilt. We have different scientific branch of studies that help us to acquire temporary peace to an extent when there is an internal system failure. There are these Psychologists that help us to “FEEL BETTER” through temporary processes; after all cognitive psychology has been dealing with forgiveness and guilt for decades. Getting rid of guilt is in our interest and historically has been one of humanity’s greatest desires. Have you heard of the distinction between a neurotic and a psychotic? A neurotic, because of anxiety and guilt and distress, builds castles in the air. A psychotic, because he’s lost touch with reality, lives in those air castles, and a psychologist collects rent from both. And then we have this Priest advising us to “DO BETTER” You suppress your conscience so that you’re not particularly alive to its voice anymore. Only talk about Horizontal forgiveness. And then the Philosophies that demands us to “THINK BETTER”  to help us to oversee the internal disturbances.

  In 1 John 3:21 it says “if our heart does not condemn us we shall have boldness before God”. It is important that your heart respects you and prove you to be an honourable person. It is so easy also to be justified by the accolades and praises that we receive from people and sadly if your heart is not with you then you are scorned to mockery by this internal system. Need to answer this crucial question in  Jer 4:14  “ …wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?. The greatest problem of mankind, the SIN continue to barge every human being in order to corrupt the internal system. It’s time to make a serious commitment to God and go to the throne of grace for cleansing of our hearts that happens by faith Acts 15:9 .  How blessed we are to have the active scanner within us. Pro 20 27 “The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the innermost parts of his being”  once you identify your problem confess the same to be cleansed and to be made whole, return to Him, for He remains merciful. Isa 55:7  "let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon".  Let us keep the internal system "the Heart" sensitive and conscious towards purity as said in Prov 4:23 "watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life".
