"Guarding Your Heart"

"
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" (Proverbs 4:23).  

Roxie and Mollie looking upWe regularly mention our dogs Roxie and Mollie in this series. Both are "mutts"; Roxie was "adopted" from a rescue league and Mollie from the dog pound (otherwise known as the Humane League).

They are a lot of fun although Mollie has been far more demanding and destructive than Roxie ever was! Mollie's calling in life is to play. I can merely look at her with a twinkle in my eye and she will grab a toy, expecting to play without ceasing. I think she heard me quote 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and misunderstood me. She has been caught praying though (see here)

HeartgardOf course we try to take good care of them and one medical concern we have been advised to look out for is heart worms. One of the products available to prevent heart worms is known as Heartgard, which claims to prevent these worms with just one tablet a month.

Proverbs 4:23Wouldn't it be great if there was a tablet we could take once a month to guard our hearts in the way the daily verse describes! The verse is surely not primarily referring to the physical heart, although it is sound advice in that regard as well.

Solomon wrote these words he was primarily referring to the spiritual heart, our inner person. We have a personal responsibility to guard our heart. It must be our primary focus in life and of utmost importance as Solomon emphasized, "Above all else".

Guarding our heart is of utmost importance because "it is the wellspring of life". This is true both physically and spiritually. Jesus shared  a similar teaching when He stated, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander" (Matthew 15:19). The apostle Peter states,
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord" (1 Peter 3:15).

Blogger Michael Hyatt lists three reasons we must guard our hearts:
  • Because our hearts are extremely valuable.
  • Because our hearts are the source of everything we do.
  • Because our heart is under constant attack.
As I prepared today's message I paused to read up on some contemporary issues and am again reminded of the great deception and powerful delusion that is sweeping our world and am even more convinced of the absolute importance of guarding my heart with all diligence. I believe that's true for all of us!


Be encouraged today,


Stephen & Brooksyne Weber

Praying manDaily prayer:
Father, You made my heart to be the life-giving source for my physical existence and You also made my heart to be the life-giving source for spiritual existence. Create in me a pure and contrite heart, O God, and establish a steadfast spirit within me. It is only in the power of Your Holy Spirit that I can faithfully guard my heart from the follies of the world. Fill me with the abundance of Your goodness so that it overflows into the lives of others as my conversation and conduct reflect Your presence in my life. Help me, I pray, in the name of Jesus.  Amen.



Bruno 5/30/12
Last night we took a long walk and Bruno, our neighbor's Saint Bernard, greeted us from the dock, far across the pond.  He looks small but he's a giant with a masterful bark.  Notice the large building to the right of the barn. The owners built this structure with the intent of having gatherings.

One of those gatherings will be the River Brethren, a Plain group who do not own church buildings but meet in houses and barns. On June 10 they will be meeting in this structure for their church service. Several neighborhood River Brethren plain children walked alongside us on our walk and invited us to the service.

Stephen asked, "Are you sure we're invited?" Each of them assured us that we were. "Everyone's invited" they said but the young three year old added, "except Satan. He's an enemy of God."  We sure agree with his theology!

Belleville PA amish man plowing
Our friend Greg Schneider sent us this photo of an Amish man working his field near Belleville, PA in the Kishacoquillas Valley.

ListenListen to this message on your audio player.

"By The Sweat Of Your Brow"

To Adam He said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return" (Genesis 3:17-19).

All throughout our area we see farmers working the fields; the Amish using teams of horses or mules, some forms of Mennonites using tractors with steel wheels (rubber is not allowed) and of course all manner of modern farm equipment. Regardless of their work, with the hot weather we're experiencing, at some point in the day they're all sopping up sweat from their brow!

A well-watered garden in Perry County PA Click to enlarge)

I stopped by a beautiful Amish farm with a lush vegetable garden. The rows of plants were up on raised beds with a grassy area for a walkway between the rows. It was clearly a well-tended, well-watered garden. I could already see evidence of the abundant harvest coming up through the fertile Lancaster County soil.

Amish woman in gardenBut I also thought about the toil involved. It didn't just happen. They had to fight the thorns and thistles, persistent weeds, plant diseases, and the varied insects that destroy. It is an ongoing battle requiring attention, time, and diligent labor. The toil behind this beautiful garden was a hard-working Amish woman with sweat on her brow and lots of dirt on her clothing and under her fingernails!

Most of us don't work with soil. We may have a small vegetable or flower plot and that's enough to understand the effect of the "curse" referred to in the daily verse.

Sweat of browHowever I consider the phrase "sweat of the brow" in a broader sense. Regardless of what our work entails it seems there is an aspect of painful toil. I take this internet ministry very seriously and also find it very rewarding in regard to personal fulfillment in helping others on their faith journey. Although I rarely have physical sweat on my brow while preparing my message I certainly know painful toil!

My main interest is the preparation of the messages, which is usually a joy but honestly can at times be toilsome.  Any preacher or teacher who has prepared messages knows what I mean. Brooksyne and I also find it a blessing in the various ways we interface with readers and podcast listeners, mostly through email, although we do have opportunity to meet some face to face, and others via telephone.

Consider your work today. For some of you it's going very well and you might not even use the word "toil" in describing it, let alone painful toil!  But for most the toil is rather ongoing and you know painful toil as well. This "painful toil" may not be in the sense of an aching back but an obnoxious boss or fellow workers that are a real pain. It may be a project that is very difficult and everything that could go wrong already has.

I want to encourage you today and to do so I must look ahead. Quite honestly I expect toil, which will be very painful and perplexing at times for my remaining time on earth. I ask the Lord to give me wisdom, persistence and an overcoming spirit as I deal with these matters.

But to counteract the dread of toil I also look for the blessing of a future promise: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them" (Revelation 14:13).



Be encouraged today,


Stephen & Brooksyne Weber

Praying manDaily prayer:
Jesus, my load becomes lighter as I consider that the ongoing toil and labor of this life is only for a season. The daily struggle of meeting deadlines, employee relations, putting out fires, pleasing customers and bosses can be overwhelming and very frustrating, let alone the growing pile of dirty clothes that awaits me at home. Though I've asked for Your divine intervention many times some of these recurring irritants will not go away in my life's work. May the sufficient grace of Your Holy Spirit grant me an enduring and victorious attitude even in the midst of these toilsome labors. Remind me again that Your blessings far outnumber the troubles of this day and that divine rest is promised to those who are faithful to the end. In Your name, Jesus, I pray.  Amen.

"While the dew is still on the roses."

ListenListen to this message on your audio player.

"Holy Spirit Enabled Boldness"

"Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness" (Acts 4:29). "And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the Word of God with boldness" (Acts 4:31).

This last Sunday was "Pentecost Sunday" when we commemorate the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. Peter, who just 53 days earlier, had cowered in fear and denied the Lord, now stood up and boldly proclaimed the living Lord, "
Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you crucified" (Acts 2:36).

Brooksyne has taught children since she committed her life to Christ in Junior High School. That's over 40 years and she's stored up many funny memories. Once she was teaching on Elijah and she described Elijah as a bold man. Making sure that she was not talking over their heads, she asked her preschoolers, "Who can tell me what the word, 'bold' means?" Little three-year old Mandy quickly raised her hand and with a self-assured smile she quickly answered, "It means he didn't have no hair."

Actually it was Elisha who at one time was mocked for being bald (2 Kings 2:23). But both he and Elijah demonstrated a boldness in living out their life for God, as have millions down through the ages.

Peter RafteryI consider a friend named Peter in the Boston area. He's a big man, having played college football and working as a "bouncer" in a Boston bar in his BC days. He lived hard in the worldly ways until he was 25 and he met Christ. At his conversion he changed dramatically and now bears a strong, bold witness for Christ. I can still hear his deep booming voice as he speaks of his faith and dedication to Christ and His cause, "I'm no moderate". He lived all out for the world and now he lives all out for Jesus Christ.

The daily text is from a portion of Scripture when the disciples first faced persecution following the Day of Pentecost. Their petition was not, as we might expect, for a removal of the threat or opposition or an appeal for an easy life. Jesus had made it very clear they would face opposition and they seemed to have accepted this. The heart of their prayer was, "Enable Your servants to speak Your word with great boldness".

That prayer was answered as the Spirit-empowered disciples went forth and "began to speak the Word of God with boldness".  The next chapter records continued and increasing persecution and ends with this summary. "Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ".

Then the focus turns to Stephen, who even as he faced his stoning, boldly proclaimed Christ.  And the list goes on through the remainder of the New Testament and throughout the church age; men and women boldly declaring their faith in Christ. That continues today giving you and me a part in it!


Be encouraged today,


Stephen & Brooksyne Weber

Praying manDaily prayer: Father, in this depraved generation, darkness is sweeping across the land. At one time morality and virtuous behavior was applauded, but we now live in a time where good is called evil and evil is called good. Those who uphold Biblical truths are seen as archaic, old-fashioned, unenlightened. May we not be confused by where the line crosses Your perfect will for our lives. We know in our hearts that teachings or lifestyles that defy Your holy Word is evil, not good. 
Enable us to "speak Your Word with great boldness" like Peter on the Day of Pentecost. May we not be intimidated or allow ourselves to be bullied into a position that contradicts that which is revealed in Your Holy Word. We rely on the power of Your Holy Spirit to live out our lives in a way that honors You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.



Fellowship meal
Last Friday when I returned from our trip to Washington we had some friends over for a fellowship meal. I heard an outstanding story I will share in tomorrow's message.

Ashely and Justin
Justin and Ashley are a young couple we are mentoring who seek to honor God in their dating relationship.

Clarence and Alverda
We regularly visit with Clarence and Alverda in our role as chaplains at a Personal Care home. This month they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary! I asked them if they did anything special and Alverda told me they didn't need to since just being together was special!
Indeed it is, since few can boast of such a milestone.
