“The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.” (Proverbs 15:28 NKJV)
He is challenging us to possess the heart of a righteous. One, who first of all, cedes his life to Jesus and accept Him in his life to be his personal Lord and Savior. When Jesus is seated on His rightful FIRST place in our heart, we thirst and fill our heart with the truth of His Words. By our faith in Him and in His grace, He makes us righteous in the eyes of God (Romans 3:22). Then our mouth speaks of blessings, of love, of peace and of truth coming from our heart.
It is, therefore, of paramount importance to have regular intake of His Words. It is the most precious heavenly commodity we are privileged to have access to while on this earth. Without God's Words in our hearts, our mouth spews out filthy declarations of evil, deception, flattery, hatred, lies and other contemptuous behavior towards God and the people who loves us. That's an attitude that draws a person away from God. And, without God we are nothing. We are merely dust prepared for baking in hell.
But, when we choose to be put right with God and be born again by receiving the Lordship of Jesus in faith, we don't embellish worldly lies to sound true. Rather, by meditation, we boldly declare the painful truth of His Words with our mouth. His truth will set us free (John 8:32). We are blessed, as we crave for what is right. Lord Jesus pronounced this promise in His Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." (Matthew 5:6 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
