STAND ON TRUTH
"Above all else,
guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life."
guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life."
GUARD YOUR HEART
Foremost guard your heart,
Always and forever it is your life;
Be perfect today and be set apart,
Love God and obey Him in Christ.
Always and forever it is your life;
Be perfect today and be set apart,
Love God and obey Him in Christ.
Above everything keep your focus pure,
Let no petty pursuits disturb your peace;
Be ready and willing to wholly surrender,
Lift your hands to the heavens and release.
Let no petty pursuits disturb your peace;
Be ready and willing to wholly surrender,
Lift your hands to the heavens and release.
Beginning to end true faith is Life's Blood,
It will keep a sanctified heart loving God;
Nothing ever can move you from His love,
Bought and secured by His Son at the Cross.
It will keep a sanctified heart loving God;
Nothing ever can move you from His love,
Bought and secured by His Son at the Cross.
Above all else take your stand on Truth,
Give no filthy demons access to your mind;
Be holy-be ruthless-when sin wants to rule you,
Only Christ must reign on the Throne of your life.
Give no filthy demons access to your mind;
Be holy-be ruthless-when sin wants to rule you,
Only Christ must reign on the Throne of your life.

You may have to force yourself to concentrate on God's words and instructions.
Disciplining yourself to read the Bible daily is not easy when your emotions are interfering with your thoughts. The Bible addresses this struggle:
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair--every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul" (Proverbs 2:1-10).
My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." (Proverbs 4:20-23)
