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!
