Season 2 Episode 43 -- In this episode, we continue our look at a wonderful (and challenging) word picture of our heart, and our interactions with Christ as we take Him on a tour of the rooms of our heart, symbolic of the areas of our lives. Today, we will look at the playroom (the room of amusements, friendships, and activities), and the hall closet (where some secret things are hidden). How do these rooms of our heart relate to our walk with Christ? Listen and find out!
"Reflect on This" is a once-weekly, short devotional podcast. In these devotionals, I share the things I am learning about the ways and nature of God, through applying my study of the Scriptures to life, in practical and fulfilling ways.
