LET THE WORD OF GOD DWELL IN YOU RICHLY. KEEP YOUR HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE; FOR OUT
OF IT SPRING THE ISSUES OF LIFE.
Keep thy heart with
all diligence; for out of it spring the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23)
It’s vital that you keep the right kind of information in
your heart. Store the Word of God in you and throw away anything contrary to
it. The collection of things you store in your heart goes a long way in
influencing what type of person you’d become. The knowledge you have inside you
determines the kind of life you will live.
In Proverbs 4:23, the Word of God admonished us to guide our
heart (mind) with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life.
Therefore, when you meditate on the Word of God alone, you’re guiding your
heart from all sorts of negative stuff.
Without the knowledge of God’s Word your heart can be dull.
Not having the ability to discern spiritual things. The Bible says such a
person is carnal. In Romans 8:7, the Word of God says, “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject
to the law of God, neither indeed can be.”
His mind has not been renewed and he then finds himself talking want,
lack and sickness. This kind of negative talk will only tend to death, for
God’s Word says, to be carnally minded is dead.
A man who loves to study must have a collection books, a man
who loves music must have a store of musical tapes and CD. Therefore, make
effort to have your own collection of good Christian materials and study God’s
Word voraciously. Store up in you the Word of God, because with it you will
become whatever the Word says. It is only through the Word of God that you can
keep your heart and mind; the Word that brings healing, peace and happiness.
The Word must dwell in you richly as the Bible exhorts, so that we can rightly
divide the Word of Truth.
Lord, I thank You for
the Word. It is a light to my path and a lamp to my feet. The Word of God is
working in every fibre of my being. It is producing good results in me, in
Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
