Back in May, I heard Wayne Grudem speaking on Proverbs 4:23.I stumbled across a note I wrote in my filofax when listening to him back then:
"Heart is like a musical instrument, bump it and it goes all out of tune."
We have a piano in our house. Unlike the quote above, she* has not been moved, and has still gone badly out of tune! :-(
If my life is to be like beautiful music to my creator and redeemer, Jesus Christ, and if it is to be a benefit to others, then guarding my heart from the evil desires that live within me and seek to bash it about is of paramount importance.
I may not be able to have any control on things going on around me in the world, but with God's help, I will learn to master my internal world and be a wellspring of life to all those to whom God has given me.
*Should any feminists be reading, I make no apologies for the use of what you might call patronising patriarchal personification ;-)
