GUARDED HEART
Our heart is more than just an organ that keeps us alive, it is the core of who we are.
Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23
We are called to be alert, intentional, and proactive about what we allow into our hearts, thoughts, emotions, motives, and desires.
The heart is the place where decisions are made, love grows, bitterness can take root, and joy is nourished.
Everything we do: how we speak, treat others, handle the temptation, and react to challenges, flows from our hearts. It is the source of the life we live on the outside.
That is why King Solomon urges us to guard it. Just like a well needs to be protected from contamination to keep its water pure, our hearts need protection from harmful influences, whether that is negativity, sin, pride, or fear.
What we feed our hearts through what we watch, listen, think, and believe shapes the kind of life we live.
This is an invitation to stay grounded in the Word of God, to allow His Word to fill us and filter out what does not belong. When the Holy Spirit leads our hearts, we begin to overflow with peace, patience, kindness, and love, things that reflect His presence.
Today, take a moment to check what is filling your heart. Are you nurturing it with the Word or letting the noise of the world shape your thoughts? A guarded heart is not a hard heart, it is a healthy one, and from that place, life flows in a way that honors the Lord and blesses those around you.
Heavenly Father, help me guard my heart with wisdom and diligence. Let Your Word shape my thoughts and desires, so that my life overflows with Your Word and love. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
