THE ISSUES OF LIFE

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.

PROVERBS 4:23

THEOLOGIANS SAY that, in the Bible, the word heart means "the seat of reflection," where we analyze every motive, every relationship, and every action in our lives. The heart, then, is like a lens that enables us to look at life either clearly or with distortions. This lens is so important that Solomon encourages us to protect it at all costs because our perceptions affect every aspect of our lives.

What's in our hearts? Even for the most mature believers, we'd have to say it's a mixed bag. We want to have pure motives, but if we're honest, we admit that some of our attitudes are pretty selfish. We want to have impeccable integrity, but we realize we've exaggerated the truth more than once to make ourselves look a little better. The first step in keeping our hearts, then, is to be honest about what we find when we look inside.

We have the choice to let our hearts drift along or to focus them on God's truth, God's purposes, and God's ways. To keep our hearts with all diligence means that we long to honor God in all we do, and we treasure love and integrity as we deal with people. We can fill our hearts with these treasures, or we can leave them dry and empty. The choice is ours, but our decisions each day about our hearts will make all the difference in our relationships, our work, our directions in life, our peace of mind, our strength of spirit, and our sense of fulfillment.
