How watch over the heart?

  • “Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4.23).

We need to forego everything that preclude our heart of issuing the source of life. But, what can be clogging the veins and arteries of our heart? The sin, which hinders Jesus’ blood of circulating in us and purifying all our circulatory system (1John 1.7).

So, let’s bow down our heart to His commandments, testimonies and judgments:

  • “May Jehovah our God be with us as He was with our fathers. Let Him not leave us nor forsake us, to incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments which He commanded our fathers.” (1Kings 8.57,58).
  • “And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies, and Your statutes, and to do all these things…” (1Chronciles 29.19).
  • “I have bowed down my heart to do Your Precepts always to the end.” (Psalms 119.112).

After all, this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome (1John 5.3).

So, let’s do of the words of Jeremiah our prayer to, with this, we have a good day:

  • “Return us to You, O Jehovah, and we will turn; renew our days as of old,” (Lamentations 5.21).
