"My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart...Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."
Proverbs 4:20-21, 23
I often use the phrase, "Guard your heart," because life springs from the heart. Wisdom is not just an intellectual exercise, but it is a way of living that flows out of the deep recesses of our being. (This is called "worldview.) When I was a kid, the house across the street had a spring with cold water that we would drink from on hot summer days. Sometimes we would not drink from the spring because there was junk floating in the water. If the well of our heart becomes contaminated with worldly wisdom, it will affect the way we live.
Today's Thought: Godly wisdom is a well-spring that flows out of our hearts.
Have a "heart" day. Love you.
