HEART GUARD

Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Your very existence depends on your heart. The moment it stops beating it means you are dead. It determines your existence and demise. The heart contains the issues of life, then it sends it to the mind to be processed then the mouth speaks it out. Everything that is flowing in your life comes from the heart; your attitude, words, actions, emotions, rage, joy, thought pattern, etc. 
In proverbs four the sons and daughters were advised to heed to parent's advice and to stay away from wicked ways. Twenty-two verses were used to communicate this wisdom to the sons and daughters, then in the twenty-third verse, the wisest man releases the final clue. Above everything guard your heart. Your heart needs a guard. You have placed all your valuables under lock and key or with your guards. Probably we got it all wrong when Jesus said in Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. So we think our heart is at places where we have stored up our wealth, therefore we guard those things thinking we have guarded our hearts. No! Your heart is supposed to serve God's and its real treasure is with the Lord. 
Psalm 119:9-11 How can a young man keep his way pure?By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
 The heart's ultimate heart guard is the Word of God. Every heart that is guarded by God's word considers the word of God before it takes any action. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks the Bible says. A heart that is guarded by God's word abounds with the commandments of God and is full of grace and truth. The mouth of a heart that is guarded by God's Word utters the counsel of the Lord. Now you know the right heart guard. Use it and save your heart from damages.

Prayer: Father a heart like yours is my desire. Give me a heart that overflows with grace and truth in Jesus' mighty name Amen.
