Guard Your Heart

Guard your heart with all diligence, because from it comes out life.

– Proverbs 4:23

Did you know that the Word of God tells us to guard our hearts?  Yes, it does!  It not only says that we need to guard our hearts, but we also need to do it diligently!  This means that we are to be ever constantly making the effort to watch over and protect our hearts!  Now that is a HUGE assignment from the Lord!  And it is a persistent responsibility on our behalf that we need to strive to do!  This calls for us to do inner check-ups on our hearts at all times!  One reason why we need to consistently strive to accomplish this task for the Lord is because it is for our own good!  More importantly, our hearts are the source of life, because life pours out from it!  When we are guarding our hearts, we are guarding our life!!  Now if that isn’t POWERFUL, I don’t know what is!!  That is why we need to constantly be examining our hearts – doing thorough inspections of them- so we can be 100% sure that nothing is getting inside them that should not be there!  And what should not be getting inside our hearts is the opposite of life!  If there is anything that can hinder, steal, or destroy life; that is what we need to be guarding against!  Because the enemy comes to do those things which are contrary to life!  Life only comes from God and his Son Jesus Christ (Yeshua)!  Anything outside them is the opposite of life!  So make sure that You are guarding your heart diligently today!!
