The Heart Of The Matter

Published on 19 June 2024 at 11:18

Good morning,

Matthew 12:34
[34]O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

What comes out our mouths reflects what's in our hearts. A person can be one way around others, but behind closed doors the true heart will come out.

Someone can only hide their true self for so long. If there's ugliness in your heart, ugliness will reflect from your mouth. A man/woman can't hide who they are from God. You may think that no one sees you or knows your heart, but God does.

1 Samuel 16:7

"The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart".

Who we are, who we really are, is known to God. There are a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing. Whatch how someone handles life in general, the choices they make, and how they respond in desperate times. You will see the wolf. Be careful who you associate with and put your trust in. If you give an inch to the devil, he will get a foot hold on you. All it takes is one crack, laughing at the wrong thing, agreeing just to fit in, going to places you shouldn't, looking at things you ought not look at, hanging out with someone you know is bad company, and listening to the advice of the wicked. Just one sliver and he slides right in like a snake in the grass. Stay seeded in God's word and stay vigilant!

John 17:1-26[1]These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:[2]As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.[3]And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.[4]I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.[5]And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.[6]I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.[7]Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.[8]For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.[9]I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.[10]And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.[11]And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.[12]While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.[13]And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.[14]I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[15]I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.[16]They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[17]Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.[18]As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.[19]And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.[20]Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;[21]That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.[22]And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:[23]I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.[24]Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.[25]O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.[26]And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
