"Keep your heart above all things stored up, for life flows from it, remove the wickedness of your mouth from you, and put away the iniquity of your lips, your eyes see what is right, and direct your eyelids towards what you have. Go ahead, examine the path of your feet, and all your ways be straight. " When Solomon refers to keeping the heart, he really means to say the inner essence of a person, the thoughts, feelings, desires, will and decisions that do what a person is.
