Title: Guard Your Heart
Text: Proverbs 4:23 (ESV)
“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”
SCI: What fills your heart shapes your life!
Solomon reminds us that our hearts influence how we think, speak, make decisions, and live. That’s why we must be intentional about what we allow into our hearts!
I. Guard Your Heart (v. 23)
•Be careful what you allow to influence your heart.
•Protect your heart from unhealthy thoughts, attitudes, and desires.
•Remember, what’s happening in your heart will eventually show up in your life!
How do we guard our hearts?
1. Watch Your Mouth (v. 24)
•Be mindful of what you say.
•Refuse to allow corrupt or dishonest speech to come from your mouth.
2. Watch Your Eyes (v. 25)
•Be intentional about what you focus on.
•Keep your eyes fixed on what is right instead of being distracted by what is wrong.
3. Watch Your Steps (vv. 26–27)
•Think carefully about the direction your life is going.
•Stay on the right path and turn away from evil.
Love Like God & Serve Like Jesus
