When I got out of bed this morning I sensed the Lord put a question in my heart. “Is your heart a treasure of good things?” Jesus said; “How can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure in his heart bringeth forth good things; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth evil things…” (Matthew 12:34-35)
Have you noticed how easy it is to speak without care especially when you are in familiar surroundings with your family or people you know well? I sensed the Lord tugging on my heart this morning saying, “Fill up your heart with a treasure of good things, then every time you open your mouth good things will come out.”
“Father in Heaven; Make me a good man and my heart a treasure of good things. Every time I open my mouth may good things come out of the treasure of good things in my heart, today and everyday. AMEN”
