Coming in the next post, original content - "Fog". But until then, The Heart, taken from a brother in Christ's post on Google+ that I thought was worth sharing! :)
Proverbs 4:23: Keep your heart
with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
"Warnings about the heart!" Cross Reference: Mt 12:34; "You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."
Mt 15:18; "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man."
Mt 15:19; "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander."
Mk 7:21; "For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,"
Lk 6:45;"The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart."
<<Commentary>>
The heart. The "heart" commonly refers to the mind as the center thinking and reason(Pr 3:3;6:21;7:3), but also includes the emotions(Pr 15:15,30), the will(Pr 11:20;14:14), and thus, the whole inner being(3:5). The heart is the depository of all wisdom and the source of whatever affects speech(v.24), sight(v.25), and conduct(vv.26,27).

What Must We Do:
Pr 23:19 "Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path."
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his doings. ~ Jeremiah 17:9-10
