Heart Chambers of the Morning Star

Your heart is the place where the morning star of life rises over your day. Newly risen thoughts appear over the mountains of your unconsciousness. What or who is your morning star? What is important in your life? What have you allowed to become the primary focus in your heart? What have you allowed into the chambers of your heart?

Your heart is a house of many rooms. When the content of those rooms is visible to other people, your morals and values are on display through your actions.

Proverbs 4:23 Amplified Bible

²³ Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

The front door of your heart is the gateway where seeds flow into your heart. If you are not diligently guarding that entrance, darkness has a way of slinking in. Listening to negative people can influence your own tongue. What seeds are growing in your heart?

Proverbs 4:23-27 The Message

^23-27 Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
    that’s where life starts.
Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth;
    avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip.
Keep your eyes straight ahead;
    ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step,
    and the road will stretch out smooth before you.
Look neither right nor left;
    leave evil in the dust.

The Living Room of your heart is where you entertain friends and social acquaintances. There are voluntary associations and involuntary associations. There are some folks you have to be around whether you want to or not. People like fellow employees, grocery clerks or even church folks would generally be classified as involuntary associates. There are other associations that you have actually made a choice of inviting them into your heart - that's voluntary. The people you spend time with and allow to influence your way of thinking hang out in the Living Room of your heart.

Jesus is the Bright Morning Star.

Will you climb the mountains of life

 to see the Bright Morning Star?

There are many other rooms in your heart. 

• The dining room is a place of digestion - do you digest good or evil?  If you allow gossip into your gut it will come out of your mouth. Character defamation is like a birds regurgitation. Swallow some gossip, mix it with some dirty laundry and up it comes even juicier as you slander it on even thicker.
• The bedroom is a place of intimacy - with God and people. Will you allow just anybody to get intimate with you because you are lonely? Patience would say: "Guard your heart. Intimacy is reserved for "Till death do us part" kind of commitment. 
• The bathroom is for confessing and cleansing. Everyone needs a good cleansing on a regular basis.
• The basement or attic are rooms of storage. Are you keeping good memories or harboring grudges? Cobwebs of failure can cause entanglements of negativity that spin through all the chambers in your heart.

Proverbs 23:7

King James Version (KJV)

⁷ For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:   

Even in the cold of winter, a warm heart will grow.

A rock hard heart spreads waves of gossip.

A compassionate heart drops slander in the sand at the waters edge.

The tide of grace washes it all away.

Heart Nuggets

• Wisdom allows you the knowledge of making good choices.
