Guard Your Heart


There are many places in the Bible that tells us things like the following.

Proverbs 4:23(NKJV)
23    Keep your heart with all diligence,     For out of it spring the issues of life.

Other versions say it this way.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.


Why is it so important that we guard our hearts?  Wouldn't you know it, Scripture has an answer for us.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22(NKJV)
21Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 
22who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Quite simply because that is where the Holy Spirit resides in us. 

So how do we guard our hearts.  First by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior.  Then by being in the Word daily and by being in prayer daily.  It takes focus and it takes discipline but it is well worth it!

So how is your heart doing?
