Guarding Your Heart

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Proverbs 4:23

· · ·

The condition of our heart determines the direction of our life.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. The heart is the control center of life—our thoughts, desires, words, and actions all spring from its condition. This is why spiritual disciplines matter—they protect our hearts from contamination and cultivate godliness. What we allow into our hearts shapes who we become.

Evaluate what you're allowing into your heart through media, relationships, and thoughts, and guard it accordingly.

Father, help me guard my heart with all diligence, knowing that my life flows from it. Give me wisdom to protect my inner life. Amen.
