THE SEED
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
The heart is the wellspring of life. It is the centre of our thoughts, desires, and actions. This is why Scripture warns us to guard it carefully, protecting it from the distractions, temptations, and influences
that can lead us away from God’s purpose. Guarding our hearts means being mindful of what we allow into our minds and spirits. It means filtering out negativity, resisting bitterness, and choosing thoughts that align with God’s truth. Just as a fortified city stands strong against attack, a guarded heart remains steadfast in faith, unshaken by the
storms of life. As we go about our day, let’s keep our hearts centred on Christ, for from it flows the direction of our life.
BIBLE READING: Proverbs 4:20-27
PRAYER: Lord, help me to guard my heart always.
Protect my thoughts, guide my words, and let my
actions reflect Your truth in Jesus’ name, Amen.
