DAY 3 OF 21 · Wisdom for daily life
Guard the Heart
The inner life shapes the direction of the outer life.
PRIMARY PASSAGE
Proverbs 4:20–27
Read this passage slowly in your Bible before continuing. My Daily Altar uses the King James Version for its English Scripture experience.
BIBLICAL CONTEXT
Listen to the passage on its own terms.
The heart in Proverbs is the center of thought, desire, and will. Guarding it requires attention to what enters, what is rehearsed, and what is permitted to guide conduct.
Reflect
What repeated influence is shaping my heart away from God?
Respond
Replace one unhealthy input with Scripture or worship today.
Pray
God, guard my heart and make its deepest desires pleasing to You.
