My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. Don't lose sight of them. Leet them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.
DEFINITIONS:
Guard - watch over, defend, protect, prevent from escaping, take precautions, shield, watch, alert, lookout, guardian,
I think this scripture pretty much wraps up the WHOLE bible and what Jesus Christ is all about. It sums it up in nice laid out verses. I love the part it says "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life". This is so true...if you do not guard or protect the things of the heart, your life will go down a path that you do not wish to go. Your path won't be straight and your eyes will not see what lies before you. The heart controls. Take Jesus there and guard it with your life. The Holy Spirit will indwell in your heart and make you the person God wants you to be.
