When I say "hearts" in this post, I am referring to the physical organ inside us, not the heart the Bible refers to, so no verse to start with :( Just to clarify ;)
Our hearts are really amazing, if we ever just stopped and thought about them for a moment. God essentially created something that keeps itself going repeatedly. It doesn't stop till the moment we die. Even in the night, it keeps going. The valves keep opening and closing, pushing blood round our body, keeping us alive.
If I was the scientific type, I would start spouting facts about the heart. But alas, I am the English type instead, So words are what I use...
Everyday, I take it for granted that I will wake up with my heart still beating properly. I take it for granted it will keep beating through the day. And I take it for granted it will keep going through the night.
Instead, I will pause a moment when I pray, and whisper a prayer of thanks that my heart keeps me alive long enough to form the words I speak.
When I run, I will be thankful that he made it strong enough to beat faster and cope with the exercise.
And I will be thankful that the hearts of those I love still beat as well.
Thank you God that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank you for our hearts that keep us alive, and thank you for being the God who keeps them beating!
