This week’s Spiritual Discipline. #3 Monitoring Our Hearts:
The bible tells us to “…monitor our hearts, because it is the well spring of life.” This means it is our responsibility, gentlemen, to guard and filter what gets planted in the fertile soil of our hearts. Why? What gets planted in the heart comes to life in our lives. That is how God designed our hearts to work… “it springs forth life.” Now, the only way I know how to effectively monitor what goes into the heart, and what gets filtered out is to “…hide [His] word in our hearts so that [we] might not sin against God.” I understand that word “hide” to mean: to memorize and meditate on God’s word.
Think: From the habits of the heart… comes the behaviors of the body!
Meditate on: Psalms 139: 23-24 Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I am about; See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong –then guide me on the road to eternal life. (The Message)
Live Free, God Strong!
