This is new to me, so bare with me. Someone told me this was a good place to share my faith and hopefully encourage others with scripture and music. I remember well what it was like before I came to know Jesus and I don't ever want to be there again. So this will help me just as much as it will anyone else. I'm not gonna share my life story cuz that would take way too long and bore you to the point of not listening to anything else I said. :#) Anyways my plan is to start small and work towards digging even deeper into things. So my commitment is every morning I will give you a word of encouragement from God's word and then a song to listen to. Hopefully this goes well. So we will start today.......

Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."

I get convicted alot when I meditate on these words. Lately I have been struggling with mood swings, and most of it is due to the condition of my heart. The heart truly is the wellspring of life! Like that old saying goes, "garbage in garbage out." I believe God sees this issue as a very critical one. HE knows the evil that exists in our world and HE knows that our hearts need HIS protection in order to withstand the devil's attempts to fill us with garbage! Listen to what it says in 1Peter 5:8 "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." We need to constantly carry around with us an awareness of the spiritual warfare that is taking place around us. Oh yes, it's for real!!! And our minds and hearts are where the battles are fought. So let us be mindful of what we allow into our hearts, so that what comes out of our hearts brings glory to our Heavenly Father's Holy name. HE deserves it!!! One last verse I want to leave you with and it comes out of Luke 6:45 "The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." Ouch!!!

    You are off to a good start. Yes we all have to be alert to the evilness of this world that may creep into our hearts if we are not on guard.
