Imagine your heart two ways.
One, completely exposed
Two, completely surrounded
Heart in number one is exposed to all the things of this world and because of that exposure its actions, speech, and thoughts are vulnerable and easily swayed. It is easily hurt, played with, and can even be damaged, torn, and broken.
Heart number two is surrounded by God's Word and because of that exposure, it's actions, speech and thoughts are Jesus led, loving, kind, gentle, and faithful. God's Word becomes a barrier that surrounds the heart. That barrier protects the heart from the influence of the world.
What surrounds your heart? Is it being protected daily by the Word of God or is it exposed and vulnerable?
Jesus keep our hearts from the exposure of the world. As we study Your Word, surround it, layer it, fill it, and protect it. Amen
