From The Inside Out!
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation
of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord,
my strength and my
Redeemer."
Psalm 19: 14
We often hear of institutions that need to be
reformed
“from the inside out.” The same is true for the human
body when
an external problem is corrected in a diet.
What is visible on the outside is often a reflection of
what’s happening on the inside.
The psalmist connected our words and our heart.
Jesus refined the connection
by saying that “from
within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders” (Mark 7:21).
That’s why the writer of Psalm 119 said that in order
not to sin externally, he hid God’s Word in his
heart
(Psalm 119:11). It’s also why the apostle Paul said
the key to living the will of God is renewing the
mind (Romans 12:2).
The more we fill our mind and heart with God’s truth,
the less room there will be for the ways of this
world
to ultimately manifest themselves in our external life.
Are you filling your heart and mind with
God’s Word on a daily basis? It is
the
only way your life can be transformed.
"Philosophy and religion may reform,
but only the Bible can transform."
