Proverbs 4:23 New English Translation
23 Guard your heart with all vigilance,
for from it are the sources of life.

Lowliness of mind, what does that really do to pride?
I seem to understand my heart's lowliness much better
If my mind has no feeling. Then where does conscience reside?
Maybe somewhere in between my mind and to admit: “I can’t”?
A pure heart- a pure mind, and so be purified mentally
To be correct in the frame of mind to be, and to know it
Through prayer is that possible as God’s light may expose
Evil thoughts directly unopposed, and then dispose of it
From our evil nature surely thoughts come forth
And when least expected, they surface in an instant
Mostly based on what’s observed from the past and through
An open the door to our memory banks jumping into the present
Jan Wienen
