“Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt
talk far from your lips.”
Proverbs 4:24
May I ask you a personal question?
Do you use mouth wash?
“Why, of course!” you say – “Why do you ask?”
Well, how about a mouth wash that rinses away perversity
and corrupt talk?
There isn’t a mouth wash on the market capable of
doing that!
How do we accomplish it?
If the words Jesus spoke are true – and certainly they
are – then it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.
Our talk is a reflection of our heart.
What we meditate on, what we cherish and value will
eventually make its way out of us through our words.
Our talk is like a ‘fingerprint’ of our heart,
revealing our true identity.
Do you want to follow the counsel given in today’s
verse?
It can only be accomplished with a new heart given as
we surrender our all to Christ combined with the on-going sanctification work
of the Holy Spirit.
Have you surrendered your all?
