Good Morning!
"Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from
it flow the springs of life." (Proverbs
4:23a)
Ah, the "heart"...that is where our problems
lie, is it not?
The heart here represents your ethical center, your intellectual
center: What you think, what is going on with your will,
your perceptions of yourself and your knowledge of God.
THE CONDITION OF YOUR HEART IS CRITICAL BECAUSE WHAT GOES ON
THERE DETERMINES THE COURSE OF YOUR LIFE.
So...guard what is happening in your HEART with
all diligence.
Picture your physical heart pumping blood through the arteries
to the extremities of the body. The health of the heart determines
the health of the body.
So it is with your spiritual heart. What goes on there
affects all the extremities of your life.
Want to keep your heart pure? Than check your ACTIONS in
three areas:
(1) YOUR SPEECH:
"Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put
devious lips far from you." (Proverbs 4:24)
QUESTION: Is your speech truthful? Straightforward?...Or
misleading?
(2) YOUR EYES:
"Let your eyes look directly ahead, and let
your gaze be fixed straight in front of you."
(Proverbs 4:25)
QUESTION: Are you looking only at things that enhance
your mind and your morals? ...Or do you have wandering
eyes?
(3) YOUR PATH:
"Watch the path of your feet and all your ways
will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left;
turn your foot from evil." (Proverbs 4:26)
QUESTION: Are you only going to places that keep your heart pure...Or are you
drifting into questionable areas?
My prayer is that you are having a great week!
