Proverbs 4:23  
Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life. (NLT)

Unguarded hearts lead to disregard for self and others. 

Unguarded hearts invite pests and varmints.

Unguarded hearts hear hurtful and harmful stories.

Unguarded hearts see and gaze upon stirring sights leading to unwholesome responses.

Unguarded hearts taste and see sweetness before it turns bitter.

Unguarded hearts choose with feelings that become ever more treacherous. 

Unguarded hearts are careless.

The path of personal destruction begins with an unguarded heart. 

The path of esteem begins with a well-guarded heart.

The path of success begins with a well-guarded heart.

The path of joy begins with a well-guarded heart. 

The path of beauty begins with a well-guarded heart.

The path of safety begins with a well-guarded heart.

The path of delight begins with a well-guarded heart. 

Well-guarded hearts are careful and wise. 

As an old song says, “it’s not too late to change the path you’re on.” 

However, the time to decide is today. 
What does God say? 
Guard your heart today. 
These are words to hear and obey.

I will guard my heart so that I stay on the right course.

Our Father, protect me from unnecessary heartache and heartbreak. Teach me how to protect my heart so that there is always increasing capacity for goodness and love. Teach me how to protect my heart so that nothing can hinder my capacity for kindness and joy. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6
