Listen
to Your Heart
TODAY’S
SCRIPTURE
The heart of the wise
teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
Proverbs 16:23, NKJV.
TODAY’S
WORD
The scripture tells us that
life and death are in the power of the tongue. God Himself spoke the worlds
into existence by the creative power of words. Think about that for a
moment—you can bless your future with your words, or you can curse it.
There are many influences
over our words. In the heat of the moment, we can let our emotions tell us what
to say. We can listen to what others say and allow their opinions and ideas to
influence our words. We can even be influenced by what we watch on TV, the
internet or read in the news. But notice what today’s verse tells us that a
wise person does—a wise person listens to their heart and lets their heart
teach them what to say. As a believer, when you listen to your heart, you are
allowing the Spirit of God to influence your words. When you speak from your
heart, you are speaking from the heart of God.
Today, listen to your
heart. Take time to be still and quiet before the Lord. Allow Him to teach you
what to say. As you submit your words and ways to Him, He will direct your path
and lead you into victory in every area of your life!
PRAYER
FOR TODAY
Father God, thank You for
giving me power in the words of my mouth. Help me to stay tuned in to You by
listening to my heart. Teach me to use my words to always speak life and
blessing over myself and others in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
***
Don't lose sight of my words. Let them penetrate deep within your heart, for they bring life and radiant health to anyone who discovers their meaning. Proverbs 4:21-22 (NLT)
One of the pitfalls you may face as you fulfill your purpose in life is a temptation to take shortcuts.
In truth, these shortcuts will only get you off track. The shortcuts may be moral, ethical, spiritual, financial, or even relational.
But they will distract you from what God wants you to do in your life, eventually eating up your time, energy, resources, and creativity.
Shortcuts are always shortsighted. God wants you to stop being “absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that's where the action is. See things from his perspective”. (Colossians 3:2 MSG)
