Above all
else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. (Proverbs 4:23 NIV)
Solomon is
the author of this particular psalm. How
ironic that Solomon the man who had 700 wives and 300 concubines penned the
words that speak to us today. Solomon’s
heart was turned toward his love of women over his love of God which eventually
leads him to worship the gods of his many wives. Solomon’s heart was not fully
devoted to God as the heart of his father David had been. We all must guard our heart against desires
that will take us off the path that God has for us.
What has taken your attention away from serving God with all your heart, mind and soul? Are you setting your affections on things above? If you had a sit down conversation with God about your heart’s desire would it be pleasing to God? Do not allow your wellspring of life to be stopped up by the issues of life that come to make your heart hard. People hurt other people, things do not work out the way that we plan and disappointments can cause you to close off your heart to others. If this has happened to you ask God to heal your heart and give you discernment to guard your heart and move forward with your life.
