Guard your heart ... take care to be light-hearted

Morning: Psalms 26, 28; Isaiah 5:13-17, 24-25; I Thessalonians 5:12-28

Evening: Psalms 36, 39; Amos 7:10-17; Luke 21:29-38

“Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down ...” says Jesus. The Book of Proverbs urges ‘heart health’, too (4:23-27): “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” The idea of being on guard over your heart is unusual but very appealing ... being sure that your heart is not weighed with heaviness so that you drown in drink or worry. Think about this: Jesus teaches light-heartedness. It has never occurred to me before, but I think the saints I have known have been light-hearted souls. Let me be light-hearted too!
