The Abundance Of Your Heart

Have you ever listened to yourself talk?

Matthew 12:34 says that “… out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks” (NKJV). What is in your heart?  If you want to know where you are in your walk with God, just listen to what you are saying.  Your words are an indicator. Especially the words you say when you are stressed or under pressure.

So take a check up today. What is in the abundance of your heart?  Do you have an overflow of confidence because you have been meditating on God’s word over your life? Or are you dripping with despair because you have allowed the world to “slime you” with doubt, and discouragement.

If you are not clear on how you are doing, likely those around you like your co-workers or kids know how you are doing. They hear your words, they see the look on your face, and they notice your body gestures. Maybe you need to take stock on what is truly the abundance of your heart by listening to what you say. Remember, life and death is in the power of the tongue – so choose life.
