The world, even a lot of churches and Christians, is filled with those who do not know how to guard their heart. And their lives show this. Their thoughts and conversations are filled with worry, doubt and fear.
Diligence – Careful and persistent work or effort
Today, it’s especially important that we guard our heart with Jesus and not with all of the anxious thoughts of the world flying around today. I really believe that Jesus leads us one step, one moment, one day, at a time with His wisdom and peace. This is how I keep my own heart from being troubled.
There was a time when I didn’t know how to guard my heart and I was filled with anxiety, worry, frustration, bitterness, and all the rest. This is about the time when Jesus introduced us to using His Word in our everyday lives. Jesus makes the difference.
Guard your heart above all else (with all diligence), for it determines the course of your life.
Proverbs 4:23
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
