Thoughts For Today

“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:29-32). The words that come from our mouths really come from what is in our hearts. If there are hidden hurts that are causing bitterness then our words are often filtered through that hurt, spilling out onto those we love. As we daily renew our minds, dwelling on the things Jesus encourages us to think about, things that are good and pure and not of evil; we see a transformation taking place in our hearts. The Word is correct when it tells us that out of the abundance of the heart will come either good or evil. It is by daily spending time in God’s Presence that this transformation takes place. As we exchange our thoughts for His, the things that come out of our hearts will be good treasure indeed.

Running The Race

This seventy-day devotional was birthed from many of the revelations that God has encouraged and sustained Kent and Bev with as they have continued to run the race of faith. Their desire is that it will inspire you as well. The number seventy means completion of judgment and to enter into increase. Individually, the numbers seven and ten express different aspects of perfection and completeness.
