Proverbs 4 2. 3 Commentary Precept Austin. In my experience the Septuagint LXX can often serve as somewhat of a mini commentary on the Hebrew passage that it translates. One has to use discretion as the Septuagint translation of some passages are strikingly different from the corresponding Hebrew. In the case of Pr 4 2. Greek translation of the Hebrew is illuminating. Below is the Septuagint with brief comments for amplification. Pase all without exception phulake noun as an action guarding, watch a person who stayed on watch at a guard post like our modern sentinel, cp guard in Acts 1. The present imperative is a command calling for us to make this our habitual practice cp guarding in Acts 1. Brentons English translation of the Septuagint reads.

Be careful how you think, because your thinking results in actions that have either a positive or negative affect upon your territory sphere of influence. Pastor Greg Allen has a pithy introduction to his sermon on Pr 4 2. Theme We must be diligent to keep our hearts because the condition of our heart will affect everything else in our life I was sitting in my car in a parking lot in Seaside some time ago, sipping coffee and reading a book. And I heard a noise that caused me to look up and see one of those funny sights that could only be seen in high tech, sophisticated America. There was an SUV next to me with a seagull perched on the hood. He was cocking his head back and forth in absolute bewilderment at the car beneath him while from under the hood came a loud, authoritative, mechanical voice repeating the command, PLEASE BACK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. Car alarms and other such security devises are a part of the modern world but human diligence is still very much needed. I read once about a Portland man who had a security device in his car that prevented someone from driving away with it. But he kept noticing that though his car was safely parked on his driveway, parts from his car were slowly disappearing. He kept vigil until he heard the sound of tinkering beneath his car. Then, he ran out just in time to catch a thief by surprise as he paid his regular night time visit to steal engine parts. It seems that life all around us is filled with reasons to be on our guard, and to protect ourselves from loss or damage or theft with respect to our material goods. And of course, in a post 91. But what about spiritual mattersThe things that concern our inner man are far more important and eternally consequential than the material goods we might be able to protect. Out of all the areas in life that force us to take security measures, the Bible presents our effort to protect our heart as the most important of all. If you effectively protect your car from theft, your home from burglary, your property from damage, your financial interests from failure, and your body from personal illness and injury, and even our borders from terrorist attacks and yet fail in protecting this one, all important thing as the Bible warns us that singular failure will effect all other areas of life. The plain fact is that more personal ruin and eternal loss has been caused by a failure to protect this one thing than all failures to protect material matters combined. And yet, hardly anyone gives a single thought to keeping the heart. Keep Your Heart, Proverbs 4 2. Sermon Greg Allen Bethany Bible ChurchWATCH OVER YOUR HEART Mt 2. Pe 1 1. 3, 5 8, 9, 1.

When does a person die In medical terms, its when the heart ceases to beat. If thats true in physical life, how important is the heart in our spiritual life Pr 4 2.

You need to determine what specific vulnerabilities you need to watch over because we each have different besetting sins cp Heb 1. So like the Nike commercial says Just Do It Why is it so vitalAs someone has said our heart is like the kernel of a nut or like the internal citadel of our soul. Our heart controls all of our life, serving as the well spring of all our actions, and the center and seat of all the principles that undergird how we behave. In short, the heart controls our actions, our actions determine our habits and our habits are warp and woof the foundation of our character not our reputation reputation being what others think about us, character being what God knows to be true about us. Why do we need to be constantly on guard Clearly the implication is that the citadel of is one which can be easily taken by crafty adversaries like Satan Recall Ge 3 1 who prowls around 1. Pe 5 8 note, 1. Pe 5 9 note continually looking for a chink in our armor with his goal being to take back lost ground cp Ep 4 2. We must not forget that our heart is easily deceived cp Jer 1.
