Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men who work iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies – Psalm 141:4
Why are believers inclined to do evil? It is often because of the presence of a weak heart. A weak heart is a heart that has neither been strengthened in the word of God. It is a heart that has not had His truth truly sunk into it! We tend to rationalize our behavior when our heart is weak. A weak heart asks questions such as, do I have a reason, do they deserve it, am I justified in doing evil? Conversely, a strong heart asks one key question: Is this the will of God or is it not? Thus, while a weak heart leads to feuds, and returning evil for evil, a strong heart leads to forgiveness, turning the other cheek, and reconciliation. While a strong heart can make us seem weak to some people, the truth is that being strong in heart makes us meek. Being meek carries an enormous weight of blessing that comes from God. As it is written, the meek shall inherit the earth. Today, choose to strengthen your heart so that you are not inclined towards evil.
I will strengthen my heart, so it is inclined to good things
