箴⾔ 4:23 你要保守你⼼，胜过保守⼀切，因为它决定你⼈⽣的⽬标。(译NLT版)
Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. (NLT)
在⽣命中，我们守护着很多东西，但从来没有好好的保守我们的⼼。我们守护我们的事业，孩⼦，我们企图掌控⼀切，但我们不是神，我们⽆法掌控⽣活中的⼀切。箴⾔ 4:23 说“...胜过⼀切”，意思是胜过你的事业，胜过你的孩⼦，胜过你⽣活中的⼀切。你必须好好保守你的⼼，因为它决定你⼈⽣的⽬标。如果你选择被苦毒充满，或者选择认定已经没有出路了，⼜或是选择相信⾃⼰经⼀⽆是处；如果你选择被打败，那么摆在你⾯前的⼈⽣就是苦毒和失败。但如果你选择相信：因着耶稣如何，我在这个世上也如何！那么你就会超⾃然活出：你是年轻的；你不疲乏困倦；你如同主耶稣那般健康。而摆在你前⾯的⼈⽣是充满美好的指望，⽆论是医治、⼈际关系、经济突破等，在这⼀切的事上都充满盼望，因为在神凡事都能。
We try to guard many things in our lives but we never guard our hearts. We guard our business, our children, trying to be in control of everything. However, we are not God. We cannot control everything in our lives. Proverbs 4:23 says “….above all else”, which means above your business, above your children, above everything in your life, you must guard your heart well because it determines the course of your life.
If you choose to be bitter, to believe that you are old and useless, to be defeated, then the course of your life in front of you is going to be bitter and defeated. However, if you choose to believe that as Jesus is, so are you in this world, then you will start to have the belief that you are not old, you are not weary, your health is as good as Jesus’ and the life in front of you is going to be full of hope, including good relationships, financial breakthrough, and everything that is from Jesus. In God, nothing is impossible.
