Proverbs 15:26 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, But the words of the pure are pleasant.” (Proverbs 15:26 NKJV)

He affirms His abhorrence of the filthy mindset of the ungodly. They fully operate against God's will. Their thoughts collide gravely against His Words. Their stubborn rejection of God and His Word marinates them in evil imaginings. Lord Jesus exposé them when He said: "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:27, 28 ESV) They need God's grace, as we all do, by receiving the Lordship Jesus through faith. 

Yes, it all sprouts from the heart. Hence, our hearts must be filled and soaked day by day with the spring of living water of God's Words. What's in our heart dictates our thought which springs forth in our words and in our living. Lord Jesus declared these truths in the beatitudes: "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)

So, as children of God by faith in Jesus, our mouth ought to bear fruit of praise, as the Psalmist proclaims: "My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long." (Psalm 71:8 NIV) 

And I say, AMEN!
