The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
Luke 6:45 ESV
CONSIDER: Our words are indicators of the state of our hearts. We are not called to manage our words and bite our tongue but to address our hearts.
REFLECT:
Jesus here teaches about the connection between our words and hearts. Our words reveal our hearts. If this is true, what is the state of your heart today?
Think through how you interacted with the people you live, work, and play with. Are they words that reflect good or evil treasure in your heart?
PRAY: Go to a quiet place and pray through these 2 points.
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
