Keep Your Heart Safe!

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

In biblical times, the heart was believed to be the source of all thought and emotion. We still often use “heart” in this way because it mostly holds true. Protect your heart since how we think is affected by how we feel and our emotions impact how we think. When our emotions run high our critical thinking goes down, so it is important to be aware of this occurrence and when we know our triggers, we can remove ourselves from the situation. We are often not this self- aware, therefore, we must rely on God to help protect us even from ourselves. Praise God for protection and the good gifts of thinking, hearts, and minds. 
 
In Christ,
