Guard Your Heart

In order to run our race and finish our course, we need to understand that God has an appointed time that is usually different to our due date, and secondly we MUST GUARD OUR HEARTS!

One of the greatest challenges that we have is to keep our hearts pure and uncluttered from toxic emotions that can sabotage our destiny.

Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to "keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."

Quite a sobering thought, isn't it? ALL of our issues flow from our heart and instead of blaming everyone else or our external circumstances for the situation we are in, we need to look within and examine our own hearts.

If we can learn to take personal responsibility for the condition of our heart, then we will inevitably last longer. A regular spiritual heart check up should be something we submit ourselves to in order to avoid a spiritual heart attack.

Things like offense, unforgiveness, bitterness, lust, greed, envy, guile, anger, and indifference will clog up your spiritual arteries and eventually your heart will no longer beat for what God's heart beats for.

A toxic heart will end up poisoning you. It will take you out of the race before the devil or any other person does.

Develop the habit of working on your own heart daily. Allow God to heal your wounded heart and tend diligently to its condition. Keep a soft heart towards God and an open heart to people.
