23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. ~ Proverbs 4:23
All that you think. All that you say. All that you do comes from your heart. If that is the case, would you not agree then to guard your heart is the most important thing you can do? You have to make sure you guard your heart. You can’t let any and everything get stored in there. It is not a catch-all drawer or a junk drawer.
That’s why it is so important that you consider what you watch on tv or what you read in books. Or even what you talk about. It all gets stored in your heart, and guess what? The abundance in your heart comes out of your mouth.
You cannot misinterpret Scripture the way you want it to go or what you want it to say, just to suit you and your purpose. You have to properly or correctly decern the Scripture. You cannot come to Jesus on Sunday and then live any old way you want during the week. This is why you have to guard your heart. You have to read, study, and meditate on the Scripture. This is the only way you can truly change.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Guard Above All Else.
