Sunday School Lesson

I know the Bible verse about the heart being deceitful, but I usually think about it more in terms of a love interest instead of other decisions in my life.

It made me think that a lot of the decisions I have made in my life were like a small child grabbing at something they wanted at the store. Just decisions of the heart, with no though of what the end result would be.

The book we're going through is "The best question ever" by Andy Stanley

The question is not, does the Bible specifically say you can't have two large hershey bars (or whatever) The question is
In light of... my past
In light of... my current situation
In light of... my future dreams and hopes
Is it wise for me to follow what my heart tells me?

In light of that I would have to say that, if in the past I did not compulsively gobble down both bars before I got out of the parking lot of the store, when I had intended to only take a square or two a day. If the current reality was not that I need to lose some weight. If my future hopes and dreams were to meet a nice dentist and learn to like false teeth. Then yes, I could follow my heart and do just what I wanted.
