Your Words, Reflect Your Heart!
Tuesday's Devotion (4-27-04)
"Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile." Psalm 34:13 (KJV)
We as followers of Christ, need to make sure that we do not speak any evil. The way we speak is one way many people know what kind of person we are. If we speak evil, people think evil of us and that doesn't make us a very bright light for the Lord. If we speak like the world, we are a part of the world, but if we speak as Jesus, spoke and do as He did, then we are not of this world, but of God!
What comes out of our mouths, comes from the treasures of our heart. If we speak evil, our heart also has that evil within it. If it comes out of your mouth, it is coming from somewhere and that somewhere is the heart! You can often tell how close someone is to God, by what comes out of their mouth. A man really close to God, will really hate to speak any evil. Why? Because that man, will feel like he has let down the Lord. Also, the closer you are to God, the purer your heart is. A man who is close to God, just altogether hates evil.
The power of the tongue holds life and death. With our tongue we confess that Jesus is Lord and we are saved! Also with our tongue we deny Jesus and are condemned! Therefore, watch what you say! Keep a clean heart and mind. Your words, reflect your heart!
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message and for all things. Please forgive us of all our sins and we forgive all those who've wronged us. Please bring us close to you and give us pure hearts. May the words we speak, reflect a pure and innocent heart. In Jesus, name. A-men!
God bless!
