Bible Reading: Proverbs 4:20-23
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:23
The heart is an important organ of the body. It is like an engine room where life-giving blood is pumped to all parts of the body. When the heart is well taken care of and healthy, the body is well, but if the heart is unhealthy, the body will be sick.
Mr. Larry Biggie was warned severally by his family doctor to watch carefully over his heart's health by avoiding bad lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits. Doing this will help him to keep his heart healthy and avoid heart attack. However, Mr. Larry refused to stop eating junk foods and smoking cigarettes. He kept a very bad and unhealthy lifestyle. One evening, he was just back from work when he suddenly grabbed his chest in pain and collapsed. He was admitted to a hospital's Intensive Care Unit where he spent about six months. After he was discharged, he stopped all the bad habits. He had learnt his lesson in a hard way.
If it is so with the physical heart, it is much more important to keep our spiritual heart healthy. Everyone has the spiritual heart, of which the Bible warns that we should watch over and keep it with all diligence. Why? because out of it comes every thought, decision, desire and purpose of life, whether good or bad. You must therefore watch over your hearts. Never allow bad and filthy thoughts and actions. Surrender your heart to Jesus for thorough cleansing with His precious blood. Daily read and meditate on God's word to keep your heart sound and healthy
