Audio Version
Proverbs 4:23 – “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
The heart is the control center of your life. This means your thoughts, decisions, relationships, and even the direction of your life are all determined by the condition of your heart. If your heart is filled with faith, peace, and truth, your life will reflect those virtues. But if your heart harbors fear, offense, or doubt, it will begin to affect how you see and respond to everything around you, which ultimately determines your experience.
You cannot watch horror movies and not have thoughts of fear. So, it is crucial that you evaluate what you entertain or allow to linger in your thoughts. Rather than entertaining things that propagate fear, doubt, and unbelief, choose to meditate on what God says about your situation and your future. When you become more deliberate about what you allow into your heart, you can control your life and determine your experiences.
God wants your life to overflow with His goodness, and it all begins in the heart. So, guard it diligently and watch how peaceful and productive your life will be. Glory to God!
