Description

True self-care is found in alignment—guarding our heart, walking wisely, and trusting God with our growth.

Think of your life like a car: when a car is out of alignment, it pulls to one side, wears down the tires, and becomes harder to steer. Even if it looks fine on the outside, the misalignment causes hidden damage over time. The same is true for us—if we’re not aligned with God’s wisdom, we drift, feel off-balance, and wear ourselves out trying to function in ways we weren’t designed for.

In Proverbs 4:23, we’re reminded that everything flows from the heart. So aligning with God means tending to what’s within—because what’s in us will eventually shape what flows from us.

I Have Three Points:

1. Guard the Inner Life – Proverbs 4:20–23 Protect what you take in and focus your heart on God’s truth because your life flows from it.
2. Stay on the Right Path – Proverbs 4:24–27 Watch your words, your focus, and your steps—wisdom helps keep your life steady and intentional.
3. Wisdom Brings Health & Peace – Proverbs 3:5–8 Trusting God over your own understanding leads to true well-being, inside and out.

As I unpack the lesson, I want you to ask yourself this question: How does alignment with God’s wisdom shape how I care for my inner life?
