Grace for your spirit
But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. Mt 15:18-19
If we are carrying a cup of liquid and someone bumps us, what spills out of the cup? That’s easy, whatever is in the cup spills out. As we walk through life and someone bumps us, what comes out? That’s easy, whatever is on the inside. Do the bumps in our lives, bring out our faith, or does it show our doubts and anger? We may be able to pretend to be filled with faith in good times, but watch out for that bump in the road. When our mouth opens, if we are defiled on the inside, all of it will proceed right out of our mouth. Let’s not just try to clean up our mouths, let’s clean up our hearts. Watch out, there’s a bump coming just around the next corner.
Philippians 4:23
