Christian Devotional – October 20, 2012

VERSE:
Proverbs 4:23–Watch over your heart with all diligence. For from it flow the springs of life.

TRUTH:
Our heart must be guarded. From our heart who we are flows outward for all to see. We must take care what we allow our heart to focus on. Our heart is easily swayed and easily distracted if we are not keeping ourselves focused on Christ and the Christ-centered life. If we are not focused on Christ, then what flows out of us will not be life, but will be death.

RESPONSE:
Lord, I want my life to display You and to overflow with the springs of life. I will guard my heart so that it is focused on You and You alone.
