You can effectively protect your car from theft, your home from burglary, your property from damage, your financial interests from failure, your body from personal illness and injury, and even the borders from terrorist attacks - and yet fail in protecting this one, all-important thing? This one singular failure will effect every area of your life. Guarding your heart is the most important thing that you can do!!
With all the latest technology such as anti-theft devices for your car, video cameras and audible alerts for your home whenever someone comes close...what do you have for your heart? Who is watching it and how will you be alerted whenever something comes close to invading? It is a great question.
Dear friend, listen well to my words;
tune your ears to my voice.
Keep my message in plain view at all times.
Concentrate! Learn it by heart!
Those who discover these words live, really live;
body and soul, they’re bursting with health.

Those who discover these words live, really live;
body and soul, they’re bursting with health.
Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
that’s where life starts.
Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth;
avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip.
Keep your eyes straight ahead;
ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step,
and the road will stretch out smooth before you.Look neither right nor left; leave evil in the dust.

Proverbs 4: 10-27 The Message
Proverbs 4 puts it very plainly that if we keep attuned to God's voice and we concentrate and do not lose sight of what is truth and what is right then we will be bursting with health and the road will "stretch out smooth before you"....I don't know about you...but that sounds very good to me!
Praying and reading the word sounds so fundamental and not very high tech...kinda like when you are tying to find a good diet...and you realize that none of them will work unless you exercise and restrict those calories! It is truly so very basic. If we abide in HIM and His words abide in us then we can ask what we will and it shall be done. (John 15:7-8) Sound good to be true? Well it works if you work it!
Guard what comes in your head my friend!
You are Graciously Adorned
