Keep Your Heart With All Diligence PROVERBS 4:23 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. You have probably heard the saying concerning computers, Input equals output. Or, the more popular term, Garbage in, garbage out. That does not apply to just computers, but also to human beings. If what we feed in is bad, we cannot expect the results to be good. Today we are constantly bombarded with messages on every side. Everyone wants to influence us to do something, usually to buy their product or service. Distraction is a major problem we face. Because of the information overload we must deal with, it is easy to be distracted from what is most important: Gods Word. It is not so much that the information we are feeding into our hearts and minds is necessarily bad, just that it can easily crowd out what is most important from our lives. PROVERBS 4:20-22 20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Gods Word is not just another message, but something with life in it. Just because your senses are not aware of the life emanating from Gods Word is no proof. Nuclear radiation is also unseen and unfelt but, as we know, can quickly kill you. Gods Word is the opposite, it radiates life. HEBREWS 4:12 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. God is our Source of existence. In His Word is a deposit of life from Him which we require to live and operate optimally. Unless you continue feeding on the Word of God, you will live below what God intended for you. I will keep my heart with all diligence. I will feed in the Word of God which gives life.
