Let's Go Back to the Bible

“Your heart hasn’t been in it for a while…”

Have you ever found yourself just “going through the motions”? It can happen with anything. It can happen at work, when you don’t really think about what you’re doing, but you just “go through the motions.” It can happen in your marriage, when you don’t give any thought to what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, but you just “go through the motions.” And, it can happen in your Christian walk, when you don’t give attention to your actions or your choices or your intentions, but you just “go through the motions.” Have you ever heard it said of someone (who quit their job, or left their spouse, or gradually distanced themselves from the worship and activities of the church), “Their heart hasn’t been in it for a while”?

When it comes to your marriage, where’s your heart? Is your heart in (i.e., devoted to) your marriage? Or, are you just going through the motions? When it comes to your Christian walk, where’s your heart? Is your heart in (i.e., devoted to) your relationship with God? Or, are you just going through the motions…and gradually motioning yourself away from the Lord?
