What is inside comes outside

"For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks" Matthew 12:34

Have you said something recently that you wish you hadn't? The Bible says that your words reveal what's going on inside of you. If you go around speaking negative words of defeat, putting others down, and complaining all the time, it's a sign that you need to refocus your heart and mind. It's a sign that your "overflow" is polluted. Our bodies work a lot like a computer. What you put on the hard drive of your heart will show up on the monitor of your mouth. The good news is that you can reprogram your mind the same way you can reprogram a computer. The Bible says that our minds are renewed-or reprogrammed-by the Word of God. The more you read and study His Word, the more it will transform you from the inside out. Start today by asking the Lord to reveal anything in your heart that needs changing. Make Him first place in your life. Fill your heart with the good treasure of God's Word so that blessings come out of your mouth. Let the overflow of your heart be filled with faith and expectancy, and you'll see God's hand of blessing in every area of your life.


[ Prayer Starter ]

Father in heaven, I humbly come before You and ask that You cleanse my heart and mind of anything that isn't pleasing to You. Fill me with Your faith, peace, joy, and love so that I can overflow with Your goodness today. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
