Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (Ps 119:11 KJV) Whatever is in the heart will come out of the heart. Jeremiah says of the heart, "it is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (Jer 17:9) The only buffer against deceitfulness and wickedness is the WORD! There are those I'm sure, who would deny that these undesirable characteristics are present in their heart. For you, I'd recommend a review of Matthew 15 & Mark 7. For the rest of us its simple, replace the undesirable characteristics with the WORD! Word in...Word out!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your Word! Increase our hunger and thirst for it until, we are full of it, and it, full of us. Amen!
Mark 7:20-23. . . . For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts of lust, theft, murder, adultery, wanting what belongs to others, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, pride, and all other folly. All these vile things come from within; they are what pollute you and make you unfit for God." TLB
