How to Guard your Heart | Proverbs 4:23


Listen Later

Friends, the verse of the week is

Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

We’ve all heard the saying, “follow your heart.” Our culture believes that our hearts can show us the way to true contentment and satisfaction. This phrase encourages us to pursue our heart’s desires whole-heartedly, believing that if we do all will be well with us and with the world.

The Bible tells us a different story. In scripture our hearts are described not as trustworthy guides, but as deceitful and wicked, producers of evil, capable of murder, adultery, theft, sexual immortality, and more.

In this episode Raizel and Xenia encourage you not to follow your hearts, but to direct your hearts by turning to scripture, confiding in trustworthy friends, listening to the counsel of others, examining your life, and praying for wisdom. As Psalm 73:26 tells us, our flesh and our hearts may fail, but God is the strength of our hearts forever. He is able to transform us and give us new hearts that joyfully submit to his wisdom and guidance.
