day no, 16,613: gladness of heart guards the mind

Ecclesiastes 5:20
For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

Gladness of heart guards the mind.

Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

The peace of God protects our heads. We do not guard the peace of God by using our brains. Our brains are what need protection. Our minds are not the hard steel that keeps the soft peace of God safe and secure. The peace of God is the helmet that keeps our heads. Our hearts and minds cannot keep Christian faith safe.  It is our hearts and minds which we are prone to lose. We need help to take heart. We need grace to keep our heads. The grace of God keeps us.
