But The Words You Speak

Come From The Heart –

That’s What Defiles You. 

Scripture

Matthew 15

¹⁸ But the words you speak come from the heart—that’s what defiles you. ¹⁹ For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.

Observation

I just read something like this in chapter 12 and here it is again in chapter 15 – I think we have a Heart problem!

My physical heart problem has been described as progressive coronary artery disease.

Some synonyms for the word progressive are: increasing, growing, developing, accelerating, escalating, and that is just to name a few.

They use the word “progressive” when they describe my heart problem. These same words could describe our “spiritual hearts” as well.

Without Jesus coming into our lives and giving us a new spiritual heart we are progressively going to get worse and worse.

We desperately need “spiritual open heart surgery” and the only Surgeon that can perform the operation is Jesus!

Application

I will do a word search this morning on the word “heart” and see what else the Bible has to say on the subject.

Prayer

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.
Psalm 51:10,17
