Proverbs 4:23 NIV, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Our hearts are like sponges, absorbing everything our eyes and ears take in. Therefore, we must be careful! We must be careful to guard what we allow our eyes to see, and our ears to hear. Our hearts reflect what we believe, how we think, they reveal exactly who we are.
Hiding God’s Word in our hearts by meditating on it day and night, will keep our hearts pure and distance us from temptation and sin. We can always check on the condition of our hearts by comparing it to the truth of God’s Word. May our hearts reflect the love and light of Jesus in all we say and do.
Drawing Closer to Christ 
Yesterday at church we had our pastor talk about what we are listening to and with your word today that our hearts are like sponges absorbing all that our eyes and ears take in. I feel like God is reiterating His point here. It makes me take notice.
Blessings Dawn.

This is priceless truth, Dawn! Heart check-ups couldn’t be more important; I don’t always like what I find, but I’m grateful for the opportunity to turn away from what is in opposition to God. Blessings of His peace and truth! ♥
