“For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.”
Matthew 12:24
Another way to check and see if someone’s heart is
godly. If they have a critical spirit, a caustic mouth, a need for
constant drama, or they gossip or backbite, then you want to steer clear!
Don’t be fooled, if they are nice with you, but others tell you a different
story, listen! A heart filled with Scripture and love for the Lord will
speak encouragement, joy, and love. Check your words of late. If
you fall short, spend more time with God. Filling up your heart with the
right stuff, will make the bad stuff go away! Where there is light,
darkness must flee!
Matthew goes on to say, "...I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for ir in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words youw ill be condemned."
before you speak. Think before it comes out of your mouth. This is a habit that is hard for some (Me!), but it can be learned! What words should come from a heart set on God? A quick study through Pslams will tell you the answer: praise, words of righteousness, songs of praise, and rejoicing. Today may the words of your mouth and the meditations of your heart be acceptable in the sight of God, your Rock and your Redeemer (Psalm 19:14).
