Fresh Oil Devotional, Day 12: Guarding Your Heart

Day 12: Guarding Your Heart

Scripture: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23

Reflection: Guarding our heart means protecting it from influences that could lead us away from God. This involves being intentional about what we allow into our lives—our thoughts, relationships, and even media. When we guard our hearts, we cultivate a place where God’s Spirit can dwell, keeping our focus and desires aligned with His.

The heart is the wellspring of life, and from it flows our thoughts, actions, and emotions. By choosing to guard our hearts, we ensure that we remain sensitive to the Spirit’s leading and avoid the things that could harden or distract us. This intentional protection allows God’s peace and joy to flow freely within us, strengthening our walk with Him.

Guarding our heart doesn’t mean isolating ourselves but rather prioritizing our spiritual health. It’s about being wise in our choices and intentional in our focus, allowing God to shape us from the inside out. As we protect our hearts, we create a sanctuary for His presence, enabling us to live out His love and truth each day.

Prayer: Lord, help me guard my heart, choosing what aligns with Your will and protects my spirit. Amen.
