Proverbs 4:23
New International Version (NIV)
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
Cindy Park continued the WITH series, reminding us that we’re called to be in relationship with Jesus, where we desire only Him, not to use Him as a means to an ends. In order to be in this type of relationship, we need to monitor and guard our hearts. Proverbs 4:23 states that we need to guard our hearts because it is the source of everything we do. Though we may be doing the “right” things and serving others, problems that may be deeply hidden within our hearts can manifest them in other parts of our lives – perhaps quickness to anger, or malaise being in a ministry. Therefore, it is imperative that we monitor our hearts and search our motives. The only way to truly guard our hearts and heal our souls is by spending time with God, and in real community. As Christ followers, we are not called to obey rules or to serve in ministry, but to be in a relationship with Him.
