Spiritual Heart Scan!

Speech reveals the heart.

Matthew 12:24b "For our of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."

If it is coming out of their mouth it is in their heart. If the heart condition is not addressed the mouth cannot truly change. This gives us the challenge to check our own hearts by listening to what is said, and it gives us the opportunity to recognize what is in the heart of those we are hearing communicate.

May our prayer and our habits reflect David's desires.

Discipline Pays!

Ponder this: The discipline we give our children to train them pays great dividends.

Proverbs 29:17 (ESV)  17Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.

LOOK FOR WISDOM!



Ponder this: How hard are you looking for God’s wisdom?  Don’t give up, he promises that you will find it!  

Proverbs 2:1–6 (NKJV)1 My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

Listen and Learn!

Listen and learn!

Ponder this: Are you willing to learn?

An Abomination to God??

Ponder this: Don’t attack those who have not done hurt, and don’t wish you were like them.

Proverbs 3:30–32 (NKJV) 30Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm. 31Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways; 32For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, But His secret counsel is with the upright.

An abomination - one who is detestable to the LORD.  A great reason to focus being "at peace with all men."  Rom. 12:18

Hold back your words…
