Guard your heart, Proverbs 4:23

Focusing on the present, in fact, many saints emphasize this.

"You do not know about tomorrow; therefore, focus on the present."

This is very easy to say, by the way. I have been practising it for about two years now, and if I don't pay attention, my mind is already so far away.

Today, I was riding my bicycle on the way to work. My mind was absolutely going somewhere else where it should not go. Suddenly, my bicycle's chain got stuck, so I had to pull it off. The realization came, "Sorry, God, my mind was not in the place where you are pleased, and thank you for reminding me through my bicycle."

It was such a little moment that I didn't have to think it was from God, but it woke me up strongly.

I need to live in the present, think about what I am receiving, and count the blessings and gifts that I'm receiving now. Time would not be enough to count every blessing for me.

It did make sense to me today through my heart. If I cannot control or am not able to lead, I will be constantly sinning against God.

Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all vigilance; for from it flow the springs of life. In ancient times, people believed that the heart was the one which leads all other parts of our body.

Recall that the ancients attributed the body’s functions to the heart: its facial expressions (15:13), its tongue (12:23; 15:28), and its other members (6:18). The plural refers to the manifold and varied issues of life manifested by the different members of the body. The metaphor implies, according to Delitzsch, not only that life has its fountains in the heart, "but also that the direction it takes is determined by the heart." "Of life" (see p. 104-107) is probably best construed as a genitive of effect, that is, the sources directly affect life, like "bread of life," "water of life."  'The book of Proverbs, Bruce K.Waltke'

Scientists still debate over the subjects of whether we think through the brain or the heart, but as believers, our organs are all connected and indeed, the heart is the leader of our body, life, and soul.

It would be surely hard to do it by myself, but with God's help first and with other family members in Christ.
