KEEP YOUR HEART
Above all else, we are told to guard our hearts. Everything we say, do and even think flows from the condition of our hearts. It is the wellspring of our lives.
Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23
When the King, Solomon tells us to keep it with all diligence, he does not suggest we be cautious. He is urging us to be alert, intentional, and consistent.
Consider how much effort we put into protecting our phones, homes, or bank accounts. We use passwords, locks, alarms, anything to keep intruders out.
How often do we give that same attention to protecting what is happening inside us? The truth is, the heart can be influenced so easily by what we watch, who we listen to, and the thoughts we allow to settle in our minds. That is why we must be careful about what we let into our lives.
When we guard our hearts, we are not building walls to shut people out. We are choosing what has the right to shape us. If we constantly feed our hearts negativity, bitterness, or fear, our actions and attitudes will naturally follow suit. When we fill our hearts with the Word, truth, and grace, we begin to live from a place of strength, peace, and purpose.
God is not asking us to live paranoid or fearful lives, He calls us to live wisely. Guarding our hearts means being prayerful about what you let in and intentional about what you pour out. It is not a one-time task but a daily routine of choosing what honors Him and protects your spiritual health.
What is influencing your heart right now? Ask God to help you guard your heart well because your words, choices, direction, and life flow from it.
Heavenly Father, I am blessed to be a child of Yours. As Your child I will live wisely. I will guard my heart being prayerful about what I let in and intentional about what I pour out. Thank You for Your help for me in this area of living for You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
