I felt like from our thoughts, come our words and our actions, there should be a to be continued…
Matthew 12:33-37 “Make a tree good and it’s fruit will be good…for a tree is recognized by it’s fruit…for the mouth speaks what the heart is full of…everyone will have to give account on the day of judgement for every empty word they have spoken…”
Job 34:3-4 “For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food. Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.”
I’ve had to leave conversations…I’ve had to send apologise for things I’ve said.
I echo scriptures from War Zone, please go and read them. The reason I haven’t given you all the scriptures is I don’t just want to be a mother bird, regurgitating the food for you. I’d like you to make the effort of picking up your bible or the bible app on your phone and looking up the scriptures and reading them for yourself and letting God’s word speak to you, so you can highlight and share accordingly.
Proverbs 26:18-28 “Like a maniac shooting flaming arrows of death is one who deceives their neighbour and says, “I was only joking!” Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down. As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife…
If the battle in our minds is peaceful, more and more we will have the mind of Christ as we read God’s word and pray and spend time with Him. Only good can then come out of our mouths.
Please read Psalm 19 and Psalm 119, long but well worth it. v165 “Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.”
Proverbs 27:19 “As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.”
