What is in your heart?

Luke 6:35  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Matthew 15:18  But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.

Plain and simple...what you speak or talk about is a reflection of what's in your heart. Sometimes we can hid it by using other words, but it WILL come out...somewhere and someway! So what are you talking about today?

Shopping?
Love life?
Friends?
Your weight?
Your clothes?
Helping others?
What you heard about in church?
What you read in your Bible today?
How fat you think you are?
How much or what make-up you think you need to wear to be beautiful?
How a worship/praise song humbled you?
How your hair should look for tomorrow's day at school?
Who is texting who?

What you talk about is what you care about most, whether you agree or not.

Psalm 10:1-6

1 Why, LORD, do you stand far off?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
who are caught in the schemes he devises.

3 He boasts about the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

5 His ways are always prosperous;
your laws are rejected by him;
he sneers at all his enemies.

6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”

Yet for those who hearts are unto the Lord, fixed upon Him, striving for Him and His ways...

Psalm 37:30-31  The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice.  The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

Psalm 40:1-3  I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.

Psalm 71:8  My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.

Proverbs 15:2  The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

Romans 10:10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Ephesians 4:29  Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

James 3:9-10  With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

 Ask yourself what is REALLY in your heart. If it is on yourself, then find ways to put the focus on building up others and on God.
