Guard Your Heart – Proverbs 4:23
In this proverb, a father is instructing his son to guard his heart. To be careful about what he allows to influence his life and thoughts.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
In this proverb, a father is instructing his son to guard his heart. To be careful about what he allows to influence his life and thoughts.
The people that we are close to have a great influence on us. So, it is important to be careful about who we hang with and listen to.
My sinful actions don’t hurt just myself and those directly involved. They can also bring shame and disgrace to the cause of Christ and other believers.
Like Esther, we do not know if God has placed us here ‘for such a time as this.’ So make every effort to be a positive influence to the world around you.
