Matters of the heart

May the joy of the Lord that surpasses all understanding guard your heart, mind and soul. It is important to guard your heart for out of it springs the issues of life (Prov 4:23).
If your heart is weary and not at ease and if the peace of God does not settle in there, you open the door to discontentment and rely only on your personal strength- which does not sustain.
Tap on the strength of God which is limitless. Let praise be continually on your lips (Psalms 34:1), discern the right thoughts and emotions that you should mediate on, incline your ear to wisdom.
Keep and treasure His commands to enjoy length of days and long life. Do not resent, fear or worry as these traits do not come from Him. Have confidence in God who will keep your foot from being caught.
For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light (prov 6:23). Write them on the tablet of your heart (Prov7:3b)
