Above all else, guard your
heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:23 NIV
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” (see 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 (see Prov. 17:22 NIV).
Beloved, there may be many things in our lives that we want to “guard”, such as our health or careers, but God wants us to guard our hearts above all else, and He will guard the rest! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used with kind permission).
