The Importance of the Heart

The Bible speaks of the heart as the core of our being, the seat of our emotions, and the center of our thoughts. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Matthew 5:8 reads, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Jeremiah 17:9 states, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” Psalm 37:4 says, “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” In other words, the Bible emphasizes the importance of having a pure, humble heart that is devoted to the Lord. It is through a heart devoted to God that we can find wisdom, strength, and peace.
