Today I finished my readings in both the NT and Proverbs…today’s reading were Matthew 1-9 and Proverbs 4.

From Proverbs Chapter 4 the verse that stood out for me was verse 23 “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”  It’s important that we guard our hearts.  So often we guard so many things…but it’s what’s in our hearts that defines us.  That’s why the writer of Proverbs said ABOVE ALL ELSE.  Above everything else guard your heart.  You can do that, one, by reading and filling yourself with the Word.

From the readings in Matthew the verse that stood out as Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”  So often we encourage people to witness by mouth…but did you know that the best witness is with what you “do” and not “say”.  It’s easy to say one thing but it’s what we do that stands out.  As parents how you live out your life is more important that what you tell your kids to do.  The same is true in your work and relationships.  Begin today to let your life shine so that others will see and be drawn to Jesus.
