SCRIPTURE

Proverbs 4:23

“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”

 DEVOTIONAL

Overflow is protected, not accidental.

As God fills us and releases Living Water through us, Scripture reminds us that the condition of our hearts matters deeply. What we allow into our hearts will ultimately determine what flows out of our lives.

Proverbs tells us to guard our hearts with vigilance, not fear, but intentional care. Our attention, affections, worship, and obedience all shape the springs that flow from within us.

In this phase of Drinking → Overflow, God invites us to steward what He has poured in. When our hearts are fixed on Him, the flow remains pure, steady, and life-giving.

PRAYER

by Caio | Worship Leader at New Life Church Novato

“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”

Today, God, we declare: If You are not with us, we do not want to go anywhere.

Help us stay focused. Help us not lose sight of Your Word.

Let it be what resonates within our hearts in every moment and every circumstance.

Make our hearts a chamber that echoes what You have spoken — the songs You’ve given, the worship You’ve stirred, and the truth of Your voice.

Root us deeply in You. Ground us in Your Word. Help us remain steady when other voices grow loud.

We fix our hearts on You, Lord. Thank You for leading us.

In Jesus’ name, amen.”

REFLECTION + INVITATION

Consider today:

• What am I allowing to shape my heart?

• What voices have been competing with God’s Word?

• How can I guard what God has poured into me?

Protect the source, the springs matter.
