An enlarged heart, in the physical sense, is dangerous. But spiritually speaking, an enlarged heart can be a blessing. “I will run the way of Thy commandments, when Thou shalt enlarge my heart“ (v.32). When an athlete is running, he is on a path and has a goal in mind, which gives him the energy to continue. That’s what God wants for us today. He has a goal for us to reach and a path for us to follow. And He gives us strength through His Word.

What does it mean to have an enlarged heart?

An enlarged heart is open to God’s truth. It’s a heart that is honest and open to God’s truth. An enlarged heart is obedience to God’s will. It’s a humble heart that obeys God’s will. An enlarged heart is occupied with God’s glory. It’s happy heart. What a wonderful thing it is to grow in Grace and the knowledge of truth (II.Peter 3:18)! Our horizons are expanding. We can see what we haven’t seen before. We can hear what we haven’t heard before. God gives us an enlarged life because we have an enlarged heart.

Open your heart to God’s truth and be obedient to His will. Every step of obedience expands your horizon of blessing and ministry. Most of all, be occupied with God’s glory.
