Scripture is full of examples of people who harden their hearts against God.

What causes these hard hearts and how do we keep our hearts soft?

month rolls around and I see supporters that have joined on and who have been so faithful,

faithful over the years. So thank you very much. Today I'm going to talk about hard hearts.

That's always a fun topic. But get this. I read a verse in Zachariah. I just finished the book the other day. And it was about God's people having diamond hard hearts. It literally said diamond hard. I've never seen that in scripture before. And I've never read a description like that. I'm not saying it's not in there. There are so many things I've

forgotten about in the Bible, case in point, that, you know, just don't jump out at you before,

and this one did. And so I just hadn't seen or remember a diamond heart. And it made me think

about causes and dangers and of hard hearts and what we can do to

keep our hearts soft and to keep them humble toward the Lord and just encourage us with

having soft hearts and what scripture says. So that's what I'm going to talk about today.

But first, a little life hack. And I may have shared this life hack before, but it matches and lines up with what I'm going to talk about today. But first, a little life hack. And I may have shared this

doing it, even if this is a repeat. If you have children, or even if you don't, this can be helpful.
