When You Hear Something that Rocks Your World

 Method #1: Guard Your Heart and Affections

We lock our cars when we go to the mall. We want to know security measures are in place at sporting events. From the youngest ages, we even had diaries with little locks on them, signifying that our most personal thoughts are worth protecting.

So why in the world wouldn’t we guard the source of those thoughts? Scripture has something pretty definitive to say about this:

“More than anything you do, protect your mind, for life flows from it.”

Proverbs 4:23 (CEB)

More than anything you do.

This sounds pretty important in the eyes of King Solomon, who scripture calls the wisest man ever to live. Thousands of years later, how can we live this out in our own century and culture? That leads to Method #2.
