Meditate On
Guard your heart above all else, for it
determines the course of your life.
Proverbs 4:23, NLT
Guard
Your Heart
The Bible tells us that the heart is where
the issues of life spring forth. What we allow to enter our hearts will affect
our thoughts, actions and even our bodies. In other words, the condition of
one’s heart determines the course of one’s life!
That is why Jesus, who bequeathed to us His
peace, tells us, “…Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”
(John 14:27). So if we want to walk in His peace and rest, we need to guard our
hearts and not let them spiral into negative thoughts, worry and fear. The Book
of Wisdom also tells us that a peaceful and cheerful heart promotes health
(Proverbs 17:22).
Beloved, there may be many things in our
lives that we want to “guard”, such as our families, health or careers. But God
wants us to guard our hearts above all else, and He will guard the rest!
