“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23 NIV
Who we are today is a reflection of the thoughts entertained and beliefs held during our yesterdays. Where we live, the friends we have, our occupation, our achievements and even our failures are a few of the realities which stem from the thoughts we believed about ourselves. Anything we constantly think about eventually we begin to verbalize it. Before long, what we say, our words, are transformed into our actions. Thoughts play an imperative role in our tomorrows. Therefore, it behooves us to pay close attention to the thoughts we meditate on. If not, the thoughts that can lead to our demise find a way to our heart and become ingrained.
The act of guarding the heart requires us to be alert at all times. Being cognizant equips us to eject the thoughts that are hurtful and embrace those that will cause us to excel. God’s Word is the standard we can trust to aid us in guarding our heart. It’s the source the supplies us the knowledge and understanding to build a fort of protection around our heart.
