Why You Should Guard Your Heart
That’s simple!
The Heart is a strong force in your life. In that it controls the way you live but you can have a lead on it.
Let’s break it down, If you don’t guard your heart, it will control you instead.
Your heart is the gateway to every issue in your life.
Yes, everything revolves around the contents of your heart.
Notice how you say, I feel sick and you actually become sick. As a mom there are several times we walk the corridors of doubt, fear or anxiety over our kids.
It is the thought processes we engage that dominate our life pattern.
The heart is the gate way of Wisdom or Foolishness into our soul (Proverbs 2:10).
The heart is the access into your soul, good or bad.
God constantly urges us to keep His promises and instructions, where? In our Hearts.
He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. Proverbs 4:4
The question dear friend is…
Are you guarding your heart?
The contents of your heart finds it’s way through your conversation.
It also reflects who you are and dictates how you live.
We don’t want to live in fear, anxiety, depression, anger, constant panic, etc. but sadly many of us do. If we take charge of our hearts, we will see the changes we want.
If our hearts are placed in the Word, then we will be Unshakable.
In the midst of the noisy life, notorious atrocities, deafening news, unsure leadership, job insecurity, financial hardships, recessions, changing government policies, broken school systems etc, how can a momma guard her heart?
How can you find peace in the midst of chaos?
You find peace in the midst of trouble, chaos, terror, sickness and whatever else confronts our faith, when your heart fixed in Christ.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3
How To Guard Your Precious Heart
Through God: The weapons to defeat the battle for our hearts are mighty through God. The Power of God enables to cast down evil imaginations. The imaginations of the flesh will constantly be at war with the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-17).
By God we take captivity i.e. engage thoughts to the obedience of Christ.
Dear Mom, the power of God equips you to fight off negative thoughts and enable to fill your hearts with the thoughts that helps us obey Christ.
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
Subject Thoughts To the Standard of the Word: Just before you act on your thoughts or you ponder deeply ask, what does the Word say?
One powerful scripture that walks us through a simple scale to weigh our thoughts
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be anyvirtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things Philippians 4:8
Even in terror threats and attacks, storms of sickness whatever the situation is, our hearts should be unmoved.
Let us fill our hearts with the Word of God. Every promise of God is True, Honest, Just, Pure, Lovely, of good report, filled with virtue, and praise-worthy!
Live Everyday With Jesus: Dear moms, can we live one day at a time with Jesus? As the years wear on us, we continue to see that only God truly keeps our marriage, our kids and our home.
It is safe to entrust our concerns to Christ. We should come to the place of surrender and lay all at his feet.
Yes, all! All that fear, panic, anxiety, depression, all that…let us hand them over to Jesus
Now dear moms, our hearts are tender and precious. We should guard them.
