Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.(ESV)
A little folly doesn’t usually appear from nowhere.
It often begins as a small lean of the heart. A little pride. A little resentment. A little compromise. A little excuse that doesn’t seem dangerous yet.
But what’s allowed to remain in the heart will eventually shape what comes out of the life.
That’s why Scripture tells us to keep our hearts with vigilance. Not casually. Not occasionally. Not only after the damage is obvious. Vigilantly.
The wise person doesn’t wait until the whole jar gives off a stench before asking what’s gotten inside. They bring the heart before God while the drift is still small.
Guard the source, because the life flows from there.
