Jesus said in the book of Matthew, “out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.” And it’s true. Just watch someone (maybe yourself) when they bend over to pick something up and unexpectedly hit their head on the edge of a counter and listen to what comes out of their mouth. We’ve all done it or something like it, and have said things we wish we could take back.
In living a life that is pleasing to the Lord, it is very important to fill our hearts with Gods word so that in any given moment, out of our mouths comes the comfort of His promises. This isn’t just when we need it for ourselves, but more importantly, to edify others and help them in their time of need.
God’s word will stand forever. It will not crumble away. We can take great comfort in knowing that His word will not return unto Him void. By hiding scripture in our heart, we can stand on a firm foundation that cause us to be a well-spring of blessing for ourselves and all those around us.
