Scripture
Matthew 12:34 For whatever is in your heart determines what you say.
Observation
Jesus has just talked about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and casting out of demons. The Pharisees had just accused Him of being in league with Satan. Their words revealed their hearts!
Application
This verse is a struggle for me, as I am always so mindful of my misplaced words. I think I get my nose into things that I shouldn't. Too much with my kids and my Dree. I seem to weigh in on things that don't concern me, and it doesn't help. I need to keepers my mouth shut. However, it appears Jesus would say the problem isn't my mouth, but my heart. Sometimes the Pharisees kept their mouths shut and only thought wicked things.... and Jesus answered their thoughts.
Prayer
Lord, please help me to present my heart before You so You can change it. And may the overflow be evident in my thoughts and words. I want the meditation of my heart, and the words of my mouth to be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord my God and my Redeemer.
