STAYING FRESH AND FLOURISHING (6)

By John Ollis

It is now 10 days since my last blog but am now able to do another blog today.

This blog is not unrelated to the last blog, One of the most common causes of health problems in the aged is heart problems. Hundreds of people die every day here in Australia because of heart attacks.

The wisest man in all the world tells us to “Guard our heart”  the real you on the inside, there are so many pressures, temptations, and attacks that can cause our hearts to get hard, and dissolusioned etc. Jesus told us that out of the heart proceeds many evil things. That is why we must understand what it means to put on the Breastplate of Righteousness to totally protect our heart. We cannot relax in our Christian walk but daily doing all things to STAND strong

Jeremiah reminds us (17.9) the heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked, perhaps my greatest revelation has been “without Him I can do nothing”. We must not get undiscipined  and lazy but:

Keep on falling in love in llove with Jesus

Staying under the spout where the Glory comes out

Using our prayer language

Meditating on the Word,and having an ear to hear what the Lord wants us to do and know

This way we stay fresh and flourish and will protect our heart.

Would love to hear from you.
