Proverbs is so wise

Trust and gratitude
Substance and character
Convictions over culture
Details really determines destiny
Macro and micro
Relationships ultimately
Hunger
Others over self
HEART

In essence everything boils down to your heart. What is in your heart today? What emotions? Desires? Feelings? What draws you; what captivates you, what attracts you? What are you most disgusted by? What do you value most? Do you have time for others or are you always thinking about what you want to do or what you want others to do for you? What are your top 3 thoughts- main concerns/worried about? What do you constantly speak about all the time?

(I cannot remember the references of the other verses, but this is so important.)
Whatever a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

Matthew 6:21
For where ever your treasure is, there your heart will also be.

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue

The linkage of all 3 verses proves one very powerful point:
Whatever you set your heart to do, it will reciprocate with bodily actions and words.

Proverbs 21:2-3
All a man's ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
