Heart Attacks
Reading today I came across an article that described how we can manage trials and changes (most of which come unexpectedly into our lives). The advice given was to have a heart attack at the beginning of each day--i.e., allowing God's truth, God's will, to conform our hearts and desires to Himself.
Besides reminding me that I need to come to my daily reading of Scripture with this kind of expectant attitude, it also reminded me why I like Luther so much, because he quoted Luther's own version of what he called a heart attack: "God, forgive me for the best deeds I'm about to commit."
Ah, Brother Martin, bless you!
