What I Pour Into My Heart Determines the Course of My Life

Guard Your Heart

As Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” What we allow to enter our hearts greatly influences the direction of our lives. Whether it’s negative thoughts, harmful influences, or uplifting and encouraging words, our hearts are impacted and, in turn, affect our actions and attitudes.

Fill Your Heart with Goodness

Philippians 4:8 encourages us to focus on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. When we pour these things into our hearts, we are more likely to live according to these values. It’s important to be mindful of the content we consume, whether it’s media, conversations, or our own thoughts.

Seek God First

Matthew 6:33 reminds us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to us. When we prioritize seeking God and His ways, we naturally pour more of His wisdom, love, and truth into our hearts, leading to a life aligned with His will.
