How to Guard Your Heart

 

Guarding your heart means protecting what goes into your mind. It also means making your heart a dwelling place for God. But if your heart deceives you, we have God our Father in heaven, which is greater than our heart.

How to Guard Your Heart?

Practice 1: Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23.

Practice 2: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. 

Proverbs 3:5-6.

Understanding 1: The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. 

Luke 6:45.

Practice 2: Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths, 

Proverbs 7:25. Note: Do not be like the world's ways but follow Jesus' ways.

Understanding 2: For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.1 John 3:20.

Understanding 3: My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26.

Ask the Lord for Help:
Prayer: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 

Psalm 51:10. Note: When you ask believe because God can do all things, and righteousness is his main priority for us.

Take Action: My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:1-8.
