Proversbs 4:23
"Above all else guard you heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil."
I've been thinking about this verse and how important it is to follow. Today's world provides many ways to veer off. Here is a picture of a fountain in a park in Washington D.C., that I took. This is a visual that helps me to remember this truth of the wellspring of life that resides in us. What is in your heart and mind will come out in some way. Thank God he helps to guard us because God is love and he is faithful. If you want a pure wellspring then you need to also maintain a close connection with God and his word. If you desire to walk a straight path that leads to life then you have to guard your heart. I hope you too will choose to guard your heart, as I will too.
God Bless!
Thank you for this post, it is so important to remember.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of all the times I'd entertained myself with garbage and put myself in harms way, and the Lord still protected my heart, my soul, my mind and my life, I'm in awe.
Now I try to guard them all. Great post. :D
