Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23
Have you heard the old saying, “follow your heart?”; now normally it applies to the occasion when someone has to make a decision in regards to the love of another. In some cases, this following of the heart leads to detriment, hurt soon follows and rampant negative thoughts start to set in. The heart is fragile, both naturally and spiritually speaking, and gets easily hurt or wounded, even in our attempt to guard or protect it.
Today we are talking about following your heart for the Lord and keeping it with all diligence, which means to work hard, be persistent in your efforts to attend to the care of your heart. With all watchfulness, we want to shield it from the thoughts, concerns, problems, and cares that life can bring, and not letting our emotions cause it to become clogged, blocked, or stopped up with impurities.
Staying in the Word of God and unceasing prayer helps to keep a constant watch over our hearts, mind and mouth; frees us from the evils which can proceed from them (Matt 15:18-19). That is why it is essential to our wellbeing that the heart stays pure and we must strive at all costs to keep it holy.
Let’s be encouraged to be diligent in keeping our hearts as we walk this journey; the scripture tells us, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus!
Until the morning, be blessed!
