Guarding the Heart
Scripture: Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
Reflection
The battle against sin begins in the heart. Thoughts and desires shape actions long before they appear outwardly. Guarding the heart requires attentiveness to what we allow into our minds and affections.
Puritan Insight
John Flavel wrote:
“The heart is the spring of all actions.”⁷
Prayer
Lord, help me guard my heart today. Fill my thoughts with Your truth and keep me from the subtle beginnings of sin.
