      Read February 21, 2023 – Our Daily Bread Devotional || ODB for Tuesday Message

      READ TUESDAY ODB DEVOTIONAL, OUR DAILY BREAD 21ST FEBRUARY 2023 WRITTEN BY KIRSTEN HOLMBERG (OUR DAILY BREAD MINISTRIES)

      TOPIC: Protect Your Heart

      BIBLE IN A YEAR: Numbers 1–3; Mark 3

      KEY VERSE: Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23

      TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
      Proverbs 4:20–27

      INSIGHT: What does it mean to “guard your heart” (Proverbs 4:23)? It means to be vigilant, to keep watch for any danger that might draw us away from God. We do so by internalizing the wisdom of Scripture (vv. 20–22) and by resisting temptation (vv. 25–27). God helps us as we seek Him through prayer: “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). Philippians 4:8 offers good advice about what we fill our minds with: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” As we rely on the Spirit, “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard [our] hearts and [our] minds in Christ Jesus” (v. 7).

      Our Daily Bread Devotional 21st February 2023 MESSAGE

      Hungarian-born mathematician Abraham Wald lent his skills to the World War II efforts after coming to the United States in 1938. The military was looking for ways to protect its aircraft from enemy fire, so Wald and his colleagues at the Statistical Research Group were asked to figure out how to better protect military aircraft to defend against enemy fire. They began by examining returning aircraft to see where they were most damaged. But Wald is credited with the keen insight that damage on returning aircraft represented only where a plane could be hit and still survive. He realized that areas most in need of additional armor would be found on planes that had crashed. Planes hit in the most vulnerable part—the engine—had gone down and therefore couldn’t be examined.

      Solomon teaches us about protecting our most vulnerable part—our heart. He instructs his son to “guard [his] heart” because from it everything else flows (Proverbs 4:23). God’s instructions guide us through life, steering us away from poor decisions and teaching us where to focus our attention.

      If we armor our heart by heeding His instructions, we’ll better “keep [our feet] from evil” and remain steadfast on our journey with God (v. 27). We venture into enemy territory every day, but with His wisdom guarding our hearts, we can stay focused on our mission to live well for God’s glory.

      REFLECT: What is your heart most vulnerable to right now? How can God’s wisdom protect you?

      PRAY: God, please protect my heart from the threats against it. I hide myself in You.
