Following Your Heart

There seem to be two kinds of people in the world:

Those who are led by their heads and those who are led by their hearts. 

There is a great move in the world for folks to 'follow their hearts'. For some, emotions and feelings are the kings of their lives. They let their feelings dictate their lives. But the Bible has nothing good to say about the heart.

In Jeremiah 17:9, The Word says "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" 

Imagine that! The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked! But yet, we are told to 'follow our hearts'. I don't know many who would follow a deceitful and desperately wicked thing, but yet we are encouraged to do so in this world.  The Bible tells us that the 'just shall live by faith'. It never said anything about living by feeling or following our hearts. So let's live by faith and not feeling each and every day of our lives!
