Pro 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
God's starting place for dealing with problems in our lives is to keep our hearts right. To "keep" means to protect, guard, or watch out for. It is so easy to let things into our hearts that are temporal. I had lunch with a sweet friend today and we discussed how busy we can be, many times even neglecting important people in our lives. If we don't guard our hearts with all diligence (make it a priority) we are going to fill our lives with the wrong things. And sad to say, that leaves little time for people who may need us. Our hearts have to be protected against the enemy who wants to "steal, kill, and destroy" our lives with carnal, temporal pursuits. If our hearts are on spiritual things and we make that a priority, our lives will have purpose.
