Title: Your Heart! Keep it.

-
Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 4:23 KJV
Devotion: The physical heart which is the centre of physical life is well protected within the chest, it is centrally placed and functions optimally. We must protect it from any form of hazard,  live a healthy life for it to function well otherwise if it does not work well life is in jeopardy. 
In the verse of the day Solomon refers to the heart, but not the physical heart. He refers to the spiritual, undetectable centre of life where issues of life are decided and made manifest. A good heart thinks good, does good and relates good while the opposite is true also. 
  Here in Proverb 4:23, Solomon identified the most important component of man’s being and in so doing, he counseled his son to guard his heart. Earlier in verse 7, Solomon counsels his son to get wisdom. A good heart in a wise body is all that matters to successful life spiritually and physically. 
  Heeding these two verses alone could propel a person to success.  Heeding these two verses alone could prevent a great deal of hardship and sorrow. There is no greater virtue in life than wisdom and there is no greater component in the being of man than the heart.
 Guarding the heart biblically means having Christ lead you in all your ways. To achieve this you must be born again (John 3:16)and abide in Christ (John 15:4). May God guide your heart in Jesus name. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
