Talking to your soul is the best way to talk sense into your heart.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and if I let them, my emotions can sure drag me down. Especially in the morning when I wake up with aches and pains. But that’s when I have to call my spirit to attention and tell it to get into alignment with the Holy Spirit. I do what King David did. I talk to my soul, just like He did in Psalm 42. Where he said: “Why art thou downcast, oh my soul? Why are you so disquieted within me? Put your hope in God your Savior.” Look, friend, like the hymn goes, our souls are prone to wander. Constantly, we have to remind our wayward, stubborn soul to take instructions from God, not from our unstable, unpredictable emotions. So today, if you find your heart wandering away, flirting with some silly fantasy, or insisting it wants time off from obeying God, call it into alignment with Psalm 42. Yep, talking to your soul is the best way to talk sense into your heart.
