What are some of the ways you “guard” your heart?
The Bible advises to “guard your heart,” for it can be easily swayed if you aren’t vigilant about what you allow to affect you (Proverbs 4:23-26). Guard your heart by practicing submission to God; take every thought captive, so you can align it to the will of God (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Refuse to give unhealthy or sinful thoughts brain-space, and it’ll be harder for them to make a home.
Cultivate a spirit of gratitude and humility, trusting God’s timing and provision (Hebrews 13:5). Post guards in your mind to keep from activating sin in your heart (Philippians 4:8). To experience the very best God offers, accept His guidance, protection, and blessings with gratitude and humility, handling your heart with care and wisdom.
