Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

June 3



Proverbs 4-6
Solomon continues to give solid advice to his son for life.  In chapter four, verse three, he says,”Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”  In a world that celebrates intellect, we would do well to heed these words.  Regardless of what our logic tells us, our heart rules.  It was the heart Satan went after with Adam and Eve.  He tried the same thing with Jesus in the wilderness.  The devil is no dummy.  He knows that if he can find an unguarded heart, he can tempt that soul to turn form God.  Once he does that, he’s won the battle.  So, guarding our heart not only makes good sense, it is a matter of life and death!
