Why Guard Our hearts?
Both eternal life and physical health (which includes mental health)
are issues of the heart.
The Bible says so.
In Proverbs 4:20-23, we are told to pay close attention, and be
obedient to,
everything that God says...
And to "guard our hearts"
(be very careful what we
allow
to enter our lives
through our eye and ear
gates).
That admonition is accompanied by a promise.
The words of God, we are told, are life to all who find them (eternal
life) and health to the "entirety of" our physical being.
That's quite a mouthful.
But I ask you, whose report will we believe?
