Daily Devotion: Ways to Know Where Your Heart Is

Bible Reading: Proverbs 4:14-27

Key Verse: Verse 23 – Keep thy heart with all   diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Key Words: Keep thy heart

Knowing where a person’s heart is, is not rocket science.  A person’s heart can be known in any number of ways.  Let me share with you ten ways to identify who or what has your heart.

1. You can know where one’s heart is by where they spend their money.  Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

2. You can know where one’s heart is through their words.  Matthew 12:34b, “...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.”

3. You can know where one’s heart is through where they spend their time.  Ephesians 5:16, “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

4. You can know where one’s heart is through their promptness.  John 20:1, “The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early...” (before others, prompt).

5. You can know where one’s heart is by what they get excited about.  There are many verses which could be used...Proverbs 24:17, Psalm 122:1.

6. You can know where one’s heart is by what angers them.  Cain became angry when God rejected his offering.  The Gentiles became angry when they found out Nehemiah’s intentions to restore the walls of Jerusalem.

7. You can know where one’s heart is by who they follow.  II Samuel 15:1-6, “...so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel” (verse 6b).

8. You can know where one’s heart is by how they dress.  Matthew 11:8 talks about the dress of a homosexual.  Proverbs 7:10 talks about the dress of a harlot.  I Timothy 2:9 talks about modest dress for holy women.

9. You can know where one’s heart is through their thought life.  Proverbs 23:7a, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

10. You know where one’s heart is through the music they listen to.  Ephesians 5:19, “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.”


Always remember, when God measures a man he puts the tape measure around the heart, not the head.  Your heart is a great revealer of the real you.
