The condition of your heart determines the direction of your life. In these last days, many things compete for our affection and devotion. We must guard our hearts against sin, bitterness, deception, and worldly influences. Let God’s Word continually shape your thoughts and desires. Scriptural Readings for the Day Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Matthew 24:12 (KJV) “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Philippians 4:8 (KJV) “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Prayer Lord, keep my heart pure and steadfast. Help me to love You above all else and protect me from anything that draws me away from You. Amen.
