Whether you’re young and healthy, worn and middle aged or old and decrepit, the heart serves as a thermostat. Age is a state of mind as the heart regulates the moods of individuals. If the wisest king in history suggested that a heart is the well spring of life, Proverbs 4:23, than the heart is a terrible thing to waste.
Eating right and exercising is just one aspect to maintaining a healthy heart. Inside the human body, an invisible virus is lurking. This cancer feeds on sin, spreading beyond the heart into minds and souls. If left unaddressed, lukewarm spirits can enter the heart. This disease influences actions, encouraging compromise, inconsistency and a life void of passion, Revelation 3:15-16.
In view of this potential disaster, guard your heart by taking your spiritual temperature daily, Matthew 6:19-24. Meditate on God’s Word, the Bible, Joshua 1:8, so that your mind will be steered in the right direction, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. Finally, to discourage temptation from entering the equation, put to death any earthly nature that puts your heart in danger, Colossians 3:5-9. By exercising your heart spiritually, fulfilling Matthew 22:37-40 can become a reality.
