See God

Become aware of our own sins

Confess

Receive God's cleansing and atonement

Become fit for service

 

 

Isa 6:1  ESV  In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

Isa 6:2  Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

Isa 6:3  And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"

Isa 6:4  And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

Isa 6:5  And I said: "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"

Isa 6:6  Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.

Isa 6:7  And he touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for."

Isa 6:8  And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am! Send me."

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.  Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.  Proverbs 4:23-24

Maybe other members can post some favorite verses about our hearts and also of how our speech can affect us spiritually?   So important to watch how we speak as this goes down into our inward parts or heart.

Will try to add more verses bit by bit.   Please join in.

 

FWIW, here's a link to a post I made awhile ago about our hearts.  https://www.christianforums.com/blogs/our-hearts-are-important.54605/  It's on another forum site.  A few related posts including that one are linked to from here.  https://www.christianforums.com/blogs/blog/finding-your-heart.3401/

Thank you for these links to your blogs. The words were beautiful and freeing for me.

:) A Good Prayer:

Psalm 141:3 

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!

 

I remember this from a song back in my Sunday School days:

O be careful little mouth what you say

O be careful little mouth what you say

There's a Father up above

And He's looking down in love

So, be careful little mouth what you say

Last prayer I posted was about the mouth.

Now here is one about the heart. :heart:

"With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!" Psalm 119:10

Be not overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.  Romans 12:21

The above is such a brief, simple verse but is a wonderful way of protecting our hearts/spirits.

A small gem from Hudson Taylor:

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.  Matthew 12:34

Be careful of your attitude and habitude of mind and heart.  Occasional good acts or words signify little; but the half-unconscious and semi-involuntary frames are the true index of spiritual growth, and constitute the essence of character.

This is so true, it’s when we get our feathers ruffled and things don’t go our way, that we see where we are truly at in our spiritual growth. What comes out, Christ or self. Hopefully more Christ comes out today than yesterday and tomorrow still more. 

Much love in Christ, Not me
