I can't imagine or explain how God felt when He sent Adam out of the garden of Eden. However, the Bible clearly states how the heart of our God the creator of the Universe was toward mankind a few chapters later in Genesis 6:5-6   "Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart."  

Proverbs 4:20-23 says, "My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to all their body. Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life." 

We spend a lot of time watching over worldly stuff, but we pay little attention to our hearts.  

The Bible describes a wicked man in Proverbs 6:12-19 "as one who walks with a perverse mouth… Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil." 

It says also that "There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him" and "a heart that devises wicked plans" is one of them.

Isaiah talks about "a deceived heart" (Isaiah 44:20).

"The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God”. (Psalm 14:1).

"The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart". (Luke 6:45).

"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man". (Mark 7:21).

"For evils beyond number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; they are more numerous than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me". (Psalm 40:12).

I stop here and ponder a question…Do we have heart problems?  Yes we do… and we cannot enjoy God's blessings if our hearts are not right with Him.

Most of our spiritual problems, if not all of them, are because our hearts have failed us--to do God's will, to serve Him, to honor Him, to worship Him, to rejoice in His precepts and commandments.

Today open your Bible to Psalm 51:10 and ask God in prayer to perform a surgery on your heart.
