Health Care for the Heart!

Our heart is so important. It is the seat to our Christian walk.

As a matter of fact, your heart is so important that it takes “all diligence” to take care of it.

“ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4: 23).
“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (NLT)
“Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life”. AMP

 So why do we need to guard our hearts with all diligence?
  • It is the seat of believing ( Mark 11: 23)
  • It is where God’s Word is planted ( Mark 4: 14- 20; Luke 8: 11- 15)
  • What comes out of the heart is what defiles a man (Matthew 15: 17- 20).
How do things get into the heart?
  • What we think about
  • What we pay attention to
So if we are to guard our hearts with all diligence, we must be diligent about guarding our thoughts, thinking the right things and we must be careful what we pay attention to.
We must be careful of what we keep rehearsing in our thought life.
This is why we are to bring “every thought” captive to the obedience of Christ ( 2Cor 10: 5; and mediate on the Word of God ( Matthew 4: 4, Colossians 3: 16).  Spending time in the presence of the Lord also strengthens our hearts.
The word diligence means “ Careful, persistent work or effort, steady, earnest.
We must walk in discernment and flee away from anything that is not healthy for our hearts.

Bisi, too many believers are casual and not diligent with regard to Prov. 4:23. They need to bear in mind what's at stake. The things we allow to be planted in our heart will shape our very life. That should be enough incentive to be diligent in guarding our heart.
