Guard your heart
In the book of Proverbs we read,
“Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.”
Proverbs 4:23:
Jesus said,
“But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man ‘unclean.’
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.” Matthew 15: 18,19.
As believers in Christ Jesus we need to guard our hearts. It’s easy living in this world to fill our hearts with sinful thoughts. To look upon the negative things of this world and express that negativity to those around us.
The key I believe to guarding our hearts is to draw near to God.
The apostle Paul writing,
“Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”2Timothy 2:22.
If you consider yourself a true follower of Christ Jesus, are you doing this?
Are you guarding your heart?
Please think about it.
