Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Life

feelings, will, and intellect What we set our heart

upon will determine the kind of life that we have.

3

Mark 12:29-31 (KJV) And Jesus answered him, The first of all the Commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first Commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Set your heart on God with all that you are.

No reservations!

4

John 14:21 (KJV) He that hath My Command-ments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.

It is in willingly obeying all of the Word of God that we demonstrate our

love for Him.

Willing

5

When God says, “Keep thy heart.”

That includes our feelings or emotions.

Don’t let your emotions set the course of your life.

Keep your emotions in line with God’s Word, the Bible.

6

“Keep thy heart” also includes our will.

What are you determined to be?Let us be determined to be the children of the

Most High God in every sense of being His.

7

Matthew 5 44-45 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in Heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

We must be -- in word and deed, in attitude and mindset --

the children of the Most High God.

8

Finally, the heart includes the intellect.

Romans 12 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, Will of God.

Keep your mind in line with the Word of God.

Learn to think Biblically.

Colossians 3 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

9

Proverbs 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

Froward means to be habitually disposed to disobedience and opposition; willfully contrary.

Perverse is to be turned away from what is good or right.

Don’t ever call evil good or good evil.

10

25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Focus on Jesus.

Don’t be distracted!

11

Keep your foot on the Rock and your mind made up.

12

This is the Wisdom of a victorious life.

Guard Feelings, will, and intellect.

Refuse to be distracted from your close walk

with God.

Keep your thoughts, words, deeds, attitudes, and mindsets in line with who you are --

a son or daughter of the Most High God.

Be who you are!
