"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?" (Jer 17:9). Guard your heart. Your heart and mine can easily deceive us, no matter how good. "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life" (Prov 4:23). The Bible counsels us to diligently protect our hearts from hypocrisy, hardness, coldness, pride, unbelief, uncleanness, selfishness, and anything contrary to God. If we contaminate our hearts, the infection will spread and show through our speech and actions. You and God know what lies in your heart's recesses, and He knows mine. The remedy is to rid ourselves of any nasty pollutants with confession and repentance and surrender every area of our hearts to our heavenly Father. Then stand guard.
