proverbs 4:23 guard your heart

Proverbs 4:23

What we say is important and at times, prophetic and powerful.
So to avoid being the accidental prophet we must guard our heart.

Proverbs 4:23 tells us that, “above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” – NIV.

What ‘we do’ would include what ‘we say’.

When I’m upset, I say things that hurt.
When I’m anxious, I can be careless with my words.
When full of pride, I speak nonsense.

‘Above all else’.
Solomon, the wisest, reminding us, of how crucial it is, to guard our hearts.

So friends, guard your heart.

Tomorrow …. how do we guard our heart?
