Isaiah 65:14
My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.
*Strong's Ex. Conc. No. 2898 & 3511
Glad: joyful, gladness
From the Hebrew word 'tub' (pronounced toob)
Heavy: pain, suffering (physical/mental), grief, sorrow
From the Hebrew word 'keeb' (pronounced keh-abe')
By now we know that the Glad Heart is the heart that belongs to Jesus, the heart that lives inside the heart of God.
And the heavy heart is the heart that refuses to believe in, and does not belong to, Jesus.
GLAD HEART
Isaiah 51:11
So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
Psalm 40:16
May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, "The LORD be magnified!"
Revelation 22:3
No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be within the city, and His servants will worship Him.
HEAVY HEART
Isaiah 13:6
Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
Revelation 1:7
Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
Psalm 112:10
The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
Revelation 20:12, 15
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books.
And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Lord, may our hearts be turned to You. Lead us in Your Word, guide us with Your Holy Spirit. Bring us into Your kingdom, even as we pray for the repentance of they who have not yet done so. May we flourish in Your fields, doing the works which You have prepared for us to do.
Let us linger in Your presence, giving our worship to You, gaining strength from You, that we may pursue the lost souls and reach them for You. Be glorified, Lord, in our praise and worship.
We the glad of heart rejoice in Your Name and seek Your face. As we humble ourselves and submit to Your will, have Your way in us. Do with us as You choose. We are Your willing vessels, surrendered hearts.
Though You call all people everywhere to repentance, we know, Lord, that too many will not choose You, but help us to reach as many as we can. Save our families, our friends, the strangers/foreigners among us and our enemies.
Fill each of us with Your Holy Spirit that we might walk this born again life with Your power. Draw us close to You that we might hear Your voice more clearly.
We rejoice in Your beauty, Your glory, Your presence, O Lord. For You are our Crown, our Savior, our King. Come, Lord Jesus, and fill this place even now.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
