Today’s Scripture: You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Matthew 12:34 ESV
Once again an odd verse for us to affirm what we desire. We are told in this twelfth chapter of Matthew that what is abundant in our heart is what we will speak. Don’t you want your heart to be filled with God? I pray God fills my heart.
The very next verse says that a good person brings forth good out of his treasure. Keeping the treasures of God in our heart not only fills us with abundance but allows us to overflow. Can we treasure enough of God so that it will spill over and bring forth good?
Yes, my heart is full with God. When He fills my heart I know abundance; abundance of joy, peace, love, grace and so much more. True treasures that I possess in my heart that I know will overflow.
What are you treasuring in your heart?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for promising to fill my heart. I confess that I have had a divided heart and pray now that You fill all of my heart. Fill me LORD so that I may bring forth good and speak of Your treasures. You are an abundant God and I pray You work abundantly through me. Amen
