Diligent(Heart) Poem Devotional & Audio 8/25/25 – Proverbs 4:23

Proverbs 4:23

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

With diligence 

I keep 

This heart You have given to me 

Hidden beneath

The shadow of 

Your mighty wings 

I keep it surrounded 

By walls built by Your precepts my Lord

For fragile is this heart 

That You have given me my Lord 

And I have worked hard 

To keep it grounded in Your word 

Which is Your Son Christ 

For I know out of this heart

Are the issues of life

And before You gave me Your discipline 

I walked in the darkness 

And didn’t make the holiest of decisions 

Though even in  the world 

I did my best , 

Without Your righteousness 

I was still acustom to sin,

For without Your Son 

And without Your Love

I didn’t know the hurt 

And pain I had caused 

But now I know my best life 

Is a life in Christ 

For only through Christ 

Am I given light 

And the sight to walk through this night 

With a smile , 

Because You have blessed me with 

Wisdom , understanding and Knowledge 

So that I no longer am ignorant 

But sober and vigilant 

Wise like a serpent but my heart is kind like a dove

For I keep it full or Your love 

With all diligence 

Yes I keep 

This heart You have given to me 

Hidden beneath

The shadow of 

Your mighty wings 

I keep it surrounded 

By walls built by Your precepts my Lord

For fragile is this heart 

That You have given me my Lord 

But with Christ , growing inside 

Stronger each day does it become 

In Your word

So that better decisions 

I can keep making 

As Your Kingdom I keep seeking 

As diligent as this heart I am keeping

And Your righteousness 

Faithfully

💕
