Daily Devotion: Lord, Don't Let My Heart Grow Cold | Wednesday

Send us Fan MailProtecting the Inner Fire (The Principle of Guarding)The verse implies a cause and effect, but it does not dictate the outcome for every believer. We are given the agency to protect our hearts. Proverbs 4:23 says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." The chill of the world (lawlessness) attempts to freeze the flow of God’s life and love from us. To prevent love from growing cold, we must actively insulate ourselves by prioritizing spiritual disciplines—prayer, community, worship, and meditating on God's unchanging character.Reflection Questions:What are my personal "insulation strategies"? What spiritual habits keep my heart warm and connected to God?Where am I failing to guard my heart? (E.g., excessive consumption of negative news, exposure to cynical media, spending time with people who deplete my spirit.)How can I intentionally choose grace over grudge today, thereby protecting the warmth of my love toward someone who has hurt me?Support the showRegister for Our Upcoming Live Virtual Meditation Retreat (9/25 & 9/26) here:[email protected] a voicemail question or prayer requests here:(585) 331-3424
