For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. (Matthew 12:34 NIV)
There are many verses in the Bible about what comes out of your mouth is usually what is in your heart. In other words what you are feeling and thinking can come from a heart of love or a heart of hate, a heart of joy or a heart full of bitterness.
So how do you keep your heart pure? First by focusing on things ‘above’ and feed your mind on God’s word each and every day, and don’t neglect getting fed on Sunday as well in order to get a good dose of Jesus’ for the week ahead.
You usually will act like what you take into your ears and eyes. So you have a steady diet of nothing but secular TV you won’t have much room in your heart for ‘things above’. It has to be a priority to study God’s word. The more you read the more you will be transformed. So what do you say?
PRAYER: I want to do what is necessary to have good thinking and a pure heart. A heart overflowing with peace and joy. I pray for anyone I know who needs to get infused with the Holy Spirit to return joy and love to their hearts. Help me never think I have ‘arrived’ but continually press in to learning more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
