THOSE WHO GUARD THEIR HEARTS

Life does 3D print-outs of the issues and experiences you encounter daily out of your heart.

' Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.' - Proverbs 4:23

In this booming global information economy, where the proliferation of social media platforms has made the distribution of content, whether clean educational content or outright disgusting falsehoods, has become the easiest way to make a living, screening the content that makes it to your space will be your most important job.

A few habitual actions will help keep your heart productive and your life prosperous:

• Avoid any anxiety or fear. Instead, get scripturally informed about any difficulties and then pray about them. When you allow cool heads to prevail under all circumstances and approach your challenges methodically, as suggested here, the Holy Spirit can guard your heart by flooding you with unusual peace.

  
  

' Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.' - Philippians 4:6-7 (AMPC)

• Stay scriptually informed. Sacrifice entertainment for edification or at least proven education as much as possible.

  
  

' My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh.' - Proverbs 4:20-22 (AMPC)

Maintaining integrity is key. Stay honest and fight for consistency between your thoughts and speech, which will keep you secure in your beliefs and boost your confidence in your decisions.

' Put away from you false and dishonest speech, and willful and contrary talk put far from you.' - Proverbs 4:24 (AMPC)

• You should have a clear vision and stay focused on reaching it. Don't allow yourself to get carried away by trends. Know where you want to go and don't get involved with any person or activity that doesn't help you get there.

  
  

' Let your eyes look right on [with fixed purpose], and let your gaze be straight before you. Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright. Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil.' - Proverbs 4:25-27 (AMPC)

I pray your prosperous heart continues to produce prosperity in every aspect of life, in Jesus' mighty name.

#Amen
