It's Where You Put Your Heart., Mind & Ears

My son, if your heart is wise,

my heart will indeed rejoice.

16 

My innermost being will cheer

when your lips say what is right.

17 

Don’t let your heart envy sinners;

instead, always fear the Lord.

18 

For then you will have a future,

and your hope will never fade.

19 

Listen, my son, and be wise;

keep your mind on the right course.

20 

Don’t associate with those who drink too much wine

or with those who gorge themselves on meat.

21 

For the drunkard and the glutton will become poor,

and grogginess will clothe them in rags.

22 

Listen to your father who gave you life,

and don’t despise your mother when she is old.

23 

Buy—and do not sell—truth,

wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

(Proverbs 23)

Choices. The first choices we make are where we will put our hearts, what we will put in our minds to process decisions, and who and what we will listen to.  We all come to those points of rude awakening when we wish we would have done something differently, thought differently, decided differently, and they always come back to this: "Where have I put my heart?"  Put it to seeking truth, wisdom, God Himself.
