Guard your Heart (Psalm 119:9)

 

Guard your Heart

 

“How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it, according to your Word.” (Psalm 119:9)

 

Your spiritual heart

 

Heart is the seat of life; you make it a throne to whoever or whatever is important to you.  Physically, the heart is the junction of many highways filled with blood and the blood means life to you and God.  Therefore, it is important to guard your heart with a breastplate.  It is important to guard your life.  Today, many people experience a lot of stress for different reasons.  One reason might be that in our society we have taught ourselves that saying “no” to different things is a bad answer.  We say to our children, “Don’t say ‘no’ to me”.  This does not encourage open communication.  What I am trying to say is that by not saying ‘no’ we create stress in our lives and the highways of our heart are opened to whatever we failed to filter through.  Saying ‘no’ is healthy. Depending on the circumstances

 

According to your Word

 

Very important part of the verse.  It is important to interpret the Scriptures correctly.  Every part of the Word of God is important.  Here, your ways or your heart must be kept according to his Word.  In line with his Word.  In agreement with the Bible which is the Only Truth of God.  Everything else has failed the canonical test in which all the rules of interpretation had to agree.  At last, in our life we find after trying several experiences that the Bible is the only one who withstand the test of time.

 

Our Response

 

Apart from our own pride and stubbornness, our favorable response should be one of repentance if our ways have deviated from his Word.  Let’s not beat around the bush and admit our wrongs and make things right with our Maker.  He is waiting for reconciliation through his Son Jesus Christ.  He loves enough to die for our wrongs that we may live forever after we pass away.  There is hope for us.  Our spirit must live on by this decision we each make.  Accept him today!

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this
