Mind Your language! (2)

'What you say flows from what is in your heart ...' Luke 6:45

There's loads of different bumper stickers you can get for your car, like; 'Cover me, I'm changing lanes' or 'I love cats ... they taste just like chicken' or 'Where there's a will, I want to be in it.' The stickers are a reflection of the person who owns the car, because what's on the outside says a lot about what's on the inside.

God's not overly concerned about what we look like on the outside but He is totally bothered about what's going on, on the inside, 'Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart' (1 Samuel 16:7). What's happening on the inside matters more, because it determines who we become.

What's happening on the inside is going to come out of your mouth and your speech and actions reveal your true underlying beliefs, attitudes and motivations. What you're storing up on the inside affects every decision you make.

As it says before today's reading, 'The good man brings good things out of the good he has stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.'

What are you storing up in your heart? What does your speech and behaviour say about you? Do you need to throw out some rubbish? 'Fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out' (Romans 12:2).

EPH. CHAPTER 5

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
