Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart above all else for it determines the course of your life
What is in your heart, good or bad will determine the course of your life.
You may ask yourself...how is that so? How can my heart determine the course of my life?
Math 12: 34,35,37 For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
It's the words stored up in your heart (good or bad, positive or negative) and spoken out of your mouth that determine the course of your life. Check what you have been saying consistently over the years about your abilities, your health, your finances, your job, your relationships...and look what you have got. You will generally find that you have what you say!!
If you want to change the words in your heart read Mark 4:3- 20
v3 Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
14 The farmer sows the word
In this parable, the seed/ word sown in the ground is likened to the Word sown into the ground/soil of your heart. Just as the soil doesn't differentiate between the seed sown in it...but only knows to grow the seed, so is our heart...it doesn't differentiate between good and bad words, all it knows is that you have sown or spoken a word and it goes to work to grow it!
So, if you don't like what you are seeing in your life...check what has been coming out of your heart in abundance...check what you have been saying.......and begin planting good words in your heart by saying (like God's promises in the Bible). It will flush out the negative words of fear, depression, sickness, anger, pain, gossipping etc....
Now the course of your life will head in a good direction with a favourable outcome!!
