This
morning I am preparing to take my last two finals of the semester.
I’m
very excited!
One
thing I’ve learned about the whole finals process is how generous professors
tend to be.
They
give these wonderful things called study guides.
After
the moaning and groaning portion is done,
I
take a moment and realize how lucky I am to have one.
Here
is the reason:
I’ve
learned a lot in my classes this semester,
it
would be close to impossible to remember every piece of information from
each class.
Study
guides help narrow down the information,
making
studying easier and more efficient.
I
can also learn the information I am supposed to learn much more effectively.
So
also for our hearts…
…guard your heart for in it are the sources of life.
Put away from you dishonest talk, deceitful speech put far from you. Let your
eyes look straight ahead and your glance be directly forward. Survey the path
for your feet, and let all your ways be sure. Turn neither to right nor to
left, keep your foot far from evil.
Proverbs 4:23-27
I
love this.
Your
heart holds the sources of life,
so
why dish out to your heart all the icky parts of the world?
Why
not filter?
Why
not make a study guide of what is good
and
fill your heart with those things.
Don’t
fill your heart with dishonesty or deceit,
or
people who stand for those two evils.
Don’t
worry about what everyone is doing around you.
Focus
ahead.
Don’t
stumble upon unnecessary things.
Let
your ways be sure.
Don’t
divert to the path of the evil one.
Keep
on the path of Christ.
I
get overwhelmed with too much information
and
trying to do too many things
and
following too many rules
and
memorizing too much information.
But
if we get rid of all the unnecessary,
we
are really only left with truth,
the
important things,
the
God things.
I
can do that,
I
can manage the simple,
God
things.
I’m
positive I can tackle this study guide.
And
the reward?
Even
greater than an A.
A guard
for your precious heart.
