Guard our hearts

Proverbs 4:23 – Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

One of the prayers I always pray for my sons is for God to guard their hearts so that wherever they are, they always remain true and faithful to God in all that they do. They always remember Jesus in all that they do. They do not jeopardise their faith and salvation. They always choose to honour God in all of their decisions.

Thus, I am thankful that my elder son in the UK has found a church where he is able to relate to the people and the pastors, and he is now serving God in music playing either the guitar or piano. He has been serving in music for 3 Sundays consecutively, including today’s Sunday worship! Praise the Lord! Every believer must have a church and a community of believers they can call home, where they may serve and be encouraged in the faith. It is part of the support system for our faith. If we are all alone, especially in a foreign land, it is likely that we will get drawn away by the bright lights of the world and lose our way.

Our hearts are the moral centre of our beings. It is part of our soul and spirit. As much as the physical heart determines the health of our physical body, our other heart determines our spiritual health and maturity. The little organ (weighs only between 200g to 400g) is probably the strongest organ in our body. It beats 100,000 times a day and pumps 7,500 litres of blood through nearly 100,000 km of blood vessels in our body! The whole blood circulation system in our body transporting oxygen, nutrients, and disposing waste is a testament to God’s brilliance! Yet, it is the other heart that determines our destiny for eternity.

Guard our hearts that we always live in the centre of His will, fulfilling His plans and purposes for our lives. Love and serve Him with all our heart, soul, and body. May our lives be a living testament of His glory, wisdom, and goodness!

Have an amazing Sunday worship service today, everyone! May we dwell in the glory of His presence and meet Him face to face as we worship Him in spirit and, in truth!
