“With all vigilance, keep your heart, for from it comes the source of life” (Proverbs 4:23). This is a VITAL connection that we must be VIGILANT to keep open. We protect our roots to make sure they are pushing into the Word (Isaiah 61:11). How is it a heart attack happens? An artery gets blocked. The blood flow stops. That artery doesn’t get blocked overnight. It doesn’t happen as soon as you eat that burger dripping with cheese and bacon. Nope. It happens gradually. A bit at a time. You can eat yourself to a heart attack. Guess what? There are foods that clean up arteries. They build up arteries and restore cell walls. Not overnight. Not after one meal. But gradually over time. How are your spiritual arteries? Are you keeping them clear? Are you building them up? Are you strengthening the walls? Or are you not being vigilant? Are you not feeding on the right thing? Are you getting more of HIM into you so that YOU can be more like Him (Philippians 2:5)? Be vigilant! Defend your heartflow! Plug into Jesus EVERY DAY and do it with INTENT to be fed. It IS life for you. Life to you. And life in you.
