🌿 Michal - Day 13: Guarding the Heart
đź“– Read: Hebrews 12:15
“See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.”
Bitterness doesn’t show up overnight. It starts small — a hurt left unhealed, a word left unresolved, a disappointment we hold on to instead of giving to God.
Over time, those small roots spread, and before we know it, they affect our joy, our relationships, and even our faith.
Michal’s story shows what happens when we don’t deal with what’s beneath the surface. Her bitterness toward David grew until it shaped how she saw him, how she worshiped, and ultimately, how her story ended.
Guarding your heart isn’t about pretending you’re fine. It’s about noticing when something’s taking root that shouldn’t be there — and letting God pull it out before it grows deeper.
👉 Bitterness may start small, but it never stays small. Guard your heart early.
âť“ Reflection Question:
What is one thing I need to let go of today before it takes deeper root in my heart?
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, help me guard my heart with Your truth. Show me where bitterness, pride, or hurt have tried to take root. Pull them up and plant peace, love, and grace in their place. Amen.
