The Heart of David and Judas

How does one begin with a desire for a heart like David, only to wake up 20 years later with the cold, dead organ of Judas in their chest?

Take no thought captive

Stop confessing sin

Feed various lusts in secret

Submit your members to unrighteousness

Do not present your bodies as a living sacrifice

Refuse to die daily

Do your own will

Build your own kingdom

Recoil your hand from the plow

Mimic Lot’s wife

Insulate yourself from the Body

Attempt to save your life

Do not become like a little child

Neglect carrying your cross at all times

Hear only, never do

Lean solely on your own understanding

Do these things and your ribcage will become prison bars. Unbelief will creep in and around your heart and drag you to Sheol, where the tears will never cease and you’ll grind your teeth to powder.
