God is looking at your heart...

How would you describe your heart? Does it normal or not? Do you take good care of your heart? I ask those questions because me too need to examine my heart. Last Sunday, our church Pastor discuss about the ways on how to guard our heart. It is very important to keep it healthy physically or emotionally. I would like to share to you guys the ways to guard your heart.

1. Be careful of the condition of your heart.
Jeremiah 17:9 -> It says that "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?"
Psalm 78:37 ->"their hearts were not loyal to him, they were not faithful to his covenant."
Psalm 51:10 -> "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit from me. "

2. Be certain of the custodian of your heart.
Galatians 5:22-23 -> "But The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self- control. Against such things there is no law."

3. Be cautious of the contents of your heart.
Philippians 2:8 -> "Think of good things."
Psalm 119:11 -> "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
Joshua 1:8 -> "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."

Matthew 15:18,19
"But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean'. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander "

4. Be committed to communing with your heart.
Psalm 4:4 -> "In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent."
Psalm 77:6 -> "I remembered my songs in the night. My heart mused and my spirit inquired."
Psalm 63:6 -> "On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night."

Psalm 138: 23,24

Search me. O God , and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
