5-39 Application for Oct 3-4, 2015 :: Proverbs 4:23-24

===

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you.

Proverbs 4:23-24

===

Your heart is very important. Don’t doubt that. God says that from your heart flows the springs of life. That means God thinks your heart is very important, so you should, too.

One might think that the best way to vigilantly keep your heart is by protecting it from evil outside forces, and this is somewhat true, but, perhaps surprisingly, it’s not the first thing the wise author mentions. What he places of first importance is guarding what comes out of your mouth. Apparently what you say can corrupt you as well as what you hear or see.

So be cautious with what you say, and don’t treat it lightly.
