It's about the Heart!

Good Morning! Proverbs Day 4 Prov 4:4 Lay hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands and you will live. Its funny! In most of the Proverbs it talks about having Wisdom and Understanding, and most of us think if you have these traits it is all about what you have upstairs. All that Wisdom and Understanding is in your brain, after all that is what you think with, Right? That has always been one of my major problems, I think with my head, before I listen to my heart. You see the Holy Spirit lives in our hearts, not in our heads. That is why The Word tells us to put The Word in our hearts. Here's another example 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. I can't find anywhere in the Bible where it says, Guard your Brain or Protect your Brain. Cause I don't know about you but my Brain is full of anything but Wisdom and Understanding. It can be the Devils playground sometimes if I don't stay on top of it, with the things in my heart. I mean I can think one thing, but deep in my Heart something is telling me, NO! Don't do that, that's not right! You ever had that happen? You see are bodies are corrupt with sin, and if we don't watch what goes on in the heart, we can end up being on the path of evil men. (Vs 14) I know for many yrs of my life I lived fulfilling the desires of my heart. WHY? Vs 19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. You see for many yrs I did not have the Spirit with me in my heart. So my heart was dark and hardened. So I did not know or care why I did the things I did. But now that I have the Holy Spirit, He helps to bring all thoughts and motives to light. But we still have to be careful and on our guard. Cause you know that Lion is lurking around every corner. So there are some things we must do. Vs 24 Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk from your lips. Vs 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. And if you don't understand this Vs, it means watch what you look at, be it on the computer, in magazines or that pretty girl that is walking in front of you right now! Or Guy for you ladies! Oh but you women don't do that! LOL! And Vs 26 Make level paths for your feet and take ways that are firm. Vs 27 Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. Yep! On this Road of Life there are many paths we can take. But if we Trust in God and listen to The Spirit, which is in our heart, not our head, God says! Vs 11 I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. So today remember that it is what is in your heart that counts, for Wisdom and Understanding come from Gods Spirit and it can live no place but in our Hearts! HABD!
