He says for He is our God who is the one to give us strength, help us along the way leading us, protect us, save us and teach us. He is not one to be feared. He is the one who will steady us on a firm foundation and path of righteousness and give us all we ask for and need. He is our security and peace. He is freedom and salvation. He is God.
“As we walk through this time of uncertainty, we can trust that God is with us. We have nothing to fear because His Word and His promises are true. We can trust Him. Today, as you seek the Lord, you can walk in confidence knowing that your security is in Him.”
Do not panic. Do not worry. Help in on the way. All will be okay. God is our safe place. He is the one who leads our steps and walks with us in our journey. Do not dismay for he is our strength and help. He is our security and protection. He whom we can trust and put our hope in. All his words are true and faithful. He is God. No one else can take that name or do what he can. He is God. Take Heart knowing he is our salvation and peace to eternity with the father.
Guard Your Heart
Proverbs describes the importance of living wisely and in the fear of the Lord as opposed to following the seductive path of folly.
Proverbs 4:23 New Living Translation
23
Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.
Proverbs 4:23 Good News Translation
23 Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.
Proverbs 4:23 English Standard Version
23
Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.
Proverbs 4:23-27 The Message
23-27
Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
that’s where life starts.
Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth;
avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip.
Keep your eyes straight ahead;
ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step,
and the road will stretch out smooth before you.
Look neither right nor left;
leave evil in the dust.
“Your heart is the most important leadership tool you have. It is not your experience, knowledge, or skills. It is your heart that matters most of all” – Michael Hyatt
Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life. Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.
Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. All that you do within life comes from your inner soul aka your heart, being, brain and personal spiritual walk. Your heart is your second brain it’s your inner intuition. Your heart guards your desire and decisions in life together with your brain and the laws God has laid within you when he created you. We can not live with our eyes wide open without living with our heart and all these other senses and our databases of our brain with Christ’s teachings. If you have one but not the other you’d just sit in unfamiliar lands of questionable undecided paths you wouldn’t know where to begin or what route to travel to get to a destination. All parts of your being and spiritual faith walk all work simultaneously together starting with your inner soul, spirit and heart if you don’t guard it keeping it safe you will find yourself in heaps of turmoil, trouble, confusion and burdens most likely in negative intentions.
“It is not your experience, knowledge, or skills. Your heart is your most important leadership tool.”
Michael Hyatt
“King Solomon said it best: “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life” (Proverbs 4:23).
“This is necessary for at least three reasons:
1. Because your heart is extremely valuable.
We don’t guard worthless things. Why? Because we don’t keep things that are worthless because it is worthless. Not so with your heart. It is the essence of who you are. It is your authentic self—the core of your being. It is where all your dreams, your desires, and your passions live. It is that part of you that connects with God and other people.
Just like your physical body, if your heart—your spiritual heart—dies, your leadership dies. This is why Solomon says, “Above all else.” He doesn’t say, “If you get around to it” or “It would be nice if.” No, he says, make it your top priority.
2. Because your heart is the source of everything you do.
King Solomon says it is the “wellspring of life.” In other words, it is the source of everything else in your life. Your heart overflows into thoughts, words, and actions.
If you plug up the spring, you stop the flow of water. If you poison the water, the flow becomes toxic. In either situation, you threaten life downstream. Everything depends on the condition of the spring.
Likewise, if your heart is unhealthy, it has an impact on everything else. It threatens your family, your friends, your ministry, your career, and, indeed, your legacy. It is, therefore, imperative that you guard it.
3. Because your heart is under constant attack.
When Solomon says to guard your heart, he implies that you are living in a combat zone—one in which there are casualties.
Many of us are oblivious to the reality of this war. We have an enemy who is bent on our destruction. He not only opposes God, but he opposes everything that is aligned with Him—including us.
The Enemy uses all kinds of weapons to attack our heart. For me, these attacks often come in the form of some circumstance that leads to disappointment, discouragement, or even disillusionment. In these situations, I am tempted to quit—to walk off the field and surrender.
If your heart is unhealthy, it threatens everything else—family, friends, career—everything!
Michael Hyatt
This is why if you and I are going to succeed as leaders—and survive as individuals—we must guard our hearts. They are more important than we can possibly imagine. If we lose heart, we have lost everything.”
Your heart is not only an organ or your inner soul, spiritual being, it is an instrument of work a tool to help lead and guide ourselves and others as well as our relationship with Christ if we don’t follow and guard it we don’t follow the story or path God lay upon our lives in our mother’s womb we loose the path to our final and eternal destiny and desire. By not guarding it is compelled to take serious consequences and most likely death or failure maybe both it will definitely cause death of our mental and spiritual states. Our heart is our most important asset.
As I Take Praise With An Upright Heart

As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should!

As I learn your righteous judgments, I will praise you with a pure heart.

I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules.

You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. That’s right—you don’t go off on your own; you walk straight along the road he set. You, God, prescribed the right way to live; now you expect us to live it. Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course you set; Then I’d never have any regrets in comparing my life with your counsel. I thank you for speaking straight from your heart; I learn the pattern of your righteous ways. I’m going to do what you tell me to do; don’t ever walk off and leave me.
As I learn your righteous judgments, I will praise you with a pure heart. I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules. As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should! You, God, prescribed the right way to live; now you expect us to live it. I will walk in your path you have given me and word you have spoken to me as I live by the love and grace of your laws. I will honor and praise your name as it is worth all honor and is worth to be shared. You anticipated to lead us when you chose us and accept us as we are as a whole art of work. You have never denied who you are or who we are, you have always shown value.
When we praise the father with an upright heart we learn to be faithful and humble to him as a man and as our Lord. We learn his rule and way of his laws. When we praise him we show him honorable and in honoring him show him that we trust and accept all that he is and who he represents. We shall praise his name to then learn how to live by his words and in him by showing honor and having a relationship with him. He is worthy to all our praise and sincere in all his words. We shall be just as sincere in honor to him and in relationships we walk with him. He is not there to please us or judge who we are, but to help us understand what is helpful in our lives and right from wrong. Teaching us a path of our own for our very own life journey while laying down laws he has given as protection and security of who he wants us to become and to understand. He is worthy of our praise and will shower is with praise when we live in the life he expected. When we praise God we are blessed. His journey will always take precedence and will become our predecessor.
“From prayer to praise is here, a long or a difficult journey. Be sure that he who prays for holiness will one day praise for happiness. Shame having vanished, silence is broken, and the formerly silent man declares, “I will praise thee.” He cannot but promise praise while he seeks sanctification; he counts God alone worthy of praise. By the sorrow and shame of sin he measures his obligations to the Lord who would teach him the art of living so that he should clean escape from his former misery. There is such a thing as false and feigned praise, and this the Lord abhors; but there is no music like that which comes from a pure soul which standeth in its integrity. Heart praise is required, uprightness in that heart, and teaching to make the heart upright. An upright heart is sure to bless the Lord, for grateful adoration is a part of its uprightness; no man can be right unless he is upright towards God, and this involves the rendering to him the praise which is his due. God’s word is full of the record of his righteous providence, and as we read it we feel compelled to burst forth into expressions of holy delight and ardent praise.” There is no formality, nor hypocrisy, nor lukewarmness, for the heart is upright in the presentation of its praise.
Put Away All Filth And Evil And Be Saved

Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.
So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word that has been given to you personally. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness
“All manner of filthiness, both of flesh and spirit; all pride, vanity, wrath, malice, and evil speaking, under hearing the word: the allusion seems to be to a boiling pot, which casts up scum and filth, which must be taken off: and such is the spirit of wrathful men; it throws up the filth of haughtiness and pride, of anger, wrath, and wickedness, which must be taken off, and laid aside; or the word will not be heard to any profit, or advantage”
Let God lay your foundation and landscape your heart. Stay away from the wonder and works and evil of the earthy world it is not living a godly god fearing life but in that of sin and evil acts. So rid of the worldly movements and be humble unto God and his word ridding of temptations and sin and accept that word which God has planted upon you “when it is put into the heart by the Spirit of God, and is mixed with faith by them that hear it; so that it is, as it were, incorporated into them, and becomes natural to them, which before was not; and taking deep root in them, brings forth much fruit: and where it comes with power, it reduces every high thought into the obedience of Christ, and makes men meek and humble; and only such receive the truth in the love of it; and to such is the Gospel preached, ( Isaiah 61:1 ) , and none but such hear it with profit and edification”
“which is able to save your souls;
even your whole persons, both soul and body: but the soul is only mentioned, as being the more excellent part of man: this must not be understood of the word, as if it was the author or cause of salvation, but as an instrument; it being a declaration of salvation by Christ, or what shows unto men the way of salvation by him; and is the power of God unto salvation to them, when it is attended with the energy of the Spirit, and the efficacy of divine grace. See ( 2 Timothy 3:15 ) .
be saved by that which can save you.
Obey And Live In God’s Law
John 15:10 (New Living Translation)

When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

“I’ve loved you the way my Father has loved me. Make yourselves at home in my love. If you keep my commands, you’ll remain intimately at home in my love. That’s what I’ve done—kept my Father’s commands and made myself at home in his love.
My love for you has been like that of the love my father shows to me shall you live by my laws as I have taught you you shall remain in my love just as the laws my father has given me I also remain in he and in his love
When we live by God’s laws and not those of the world love is always present in and around our lives and it remains deep and pure yet if we live in rule of the world we deny the father and all he offers us and loose the love we have as you loose godly sight and fall into the entertainment and sin of the world and it’s own law
Not By Bread Alone
But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Human beings cannot live on bread alone, but need every word that God speaks.’”
Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.”
Mankind can not survive on only bread they need the word of God also. The bread feeds them when they are hungry, but the word of God nourishes their inner knowledge and soul teaching them the path to take and the knowledge they need to survive life away from sin and evil. It leads them to the proper path for their own life. The word of God keeps open a relationship with Christ so that he may help lead you along your journey also. To survive humans need both types of food for their life, the food to eat and soul food. For without it man would be lost and unfamiliar with how to think or act or lead themselves to survive they would be clueless and unable to fight off any evil attacks or have knowledge of any path for their future. It would be a boring fear filled journey in the unknown with no place of known start point.

And so I am sure that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it on until it is finished on the Day of Christ Jesus.

Pleased In Honor, Our Sacrifice
Hebrews 13:16 New Living Translation (NLT)

Hebrews 13:16 English Standard Version (ESV)
16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Hebrews 13:16 The Message (MSG)
16 Make sure you don’t take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of “sacrifice”—that take place in kitchen and workplace and on the streets.
For Christ to be proud and satisfied with us we are told to love one another and do good to one another to be kind to one another for when we obey in that law of his God takes pleasure for these are sacrifices which please him for do not neglect each other or turn your back on each other but be in goodness instead excursive this practice so as others see the good in you and your works and will learn and do the same themselves for this is what honors God and pleases him
To exercise this practice on being good to one another we must” exercise this to all men in need, even to our enemies, as well as to our friends and families, our live ones; and “especially to poor saints, and ministers of the Gospel: and this believers should not “forget”; which shows that it is a duty of importance; and that men are too apt to neglect and should be stirred up unto it”
for with such sacrifices God is well pleased;
For honoring his law of doing good is done in faith, our faith comes love which we learn to love one another, this being directed to the glory of God, for this honor is well pleasing to him; and these sacrifices are preferred by him to legal ones he is watching and hoping that we will be reverent to one another and loving to one another the he will be well pleased
