Happy Lords Day everyone.....I am thankful for a church that desires to serve God by teaching the truth of God's word, even when it hurts deep. Today I was reminded again of the sin in my life that I have been set free from. I was deeply troubled in that just a few days before I had said and done some things in my sinful anger that was not at all Christ like. I know that God has given me freedom from the bondage of sin, in that, through Christ I am set free. But my unrighteous anger always gets me in trouble and I fall into sin. A passage I was reminded of today says: For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. Matthew 12:34b. So then I look back on yesterday and the words that were spoken and I wonder what on earth my heart had been meditating on, or was it that I just allowed myself to become so angry that the sin in my life came flowing out. Psalms 19:14 teaches us that what so ever we meditate in our hearts should be pleasing in his sight. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight Oh Lord my Rock and my redeemer. Often times I regret words spoken because I had not meditated good things in my heart. That is why sin keeps creeping into my life, because what ever I think in my heart comes out of my mouth. Praise God I am forgiven and I am justified in Christ. Praise God that he still loves me even with mud on my face. Blessings to all you read this today.
