Good Morning Friends,
“You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil
say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The
good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man
brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men
will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they
have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you
will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:34-37)
How important are the words that we speak? Jesus
said that it is by our words that we will be acquitted or condemned!
Jesus said, “Whoever acknowledges me before
men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever
disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” (Matthew
10:32-33)
Paul taught, “For it is with your heart that
you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and
are saved.” (Romans 10:10)
But can you control what you speak? James said,
“no man can tame the tongue.” (James 3:8)
You can’t control your tongue, not on your own.
The only way to control the tongue is to change the heart, for what comes out
of the mouth is determined by what is in the heart.
If you aren’t satisfied with what is coming out
of your mouth, then ask God to search your heart and make the changes that need
to be made there! As God changes your heart, your mouth will follow.
His, by Grace, Steve
