Poverbs 2:1-11
1. Store up God's word in your heart
- 'store up my commands within you, turnging your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding... For wisdom will enter your hearts' (vv.1-2,10).
- Lord, help me each day to spend time with you and to apply the teaching of the Bible to my life.
Matthew 12:22-45
2. Go on being filled with the Holy Spirit
- Whatever is stored up in your heart will sooner or later be expressed by your words. Be careful what you look at, read and think about. Fill your heart with good things and you will think good thoughts, speak good words and bear good fruits (v.33).
- Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. Good people bring good things out of the good stored up in them, and evil people bring evil things out of the evil stored up in them (vv.34-35).
- Fight a daily battle to resist evil and ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The test of whether your heart is good is what comes out of your mouth. It is out of the 'overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks' (v.34).
- You have minds like a snake pit! How do you suppose what you say is worth anything when you are so foul-minded? It's your heart, not the dicitionary, that gives meaning to your words (v.34, MSG). The way to make sure that you say the right things is to make sure your heart is full of the Holy Spirit.
- Lord, help me to fill my heart constantly with good things and guard it from evil. I pray today that you would again fill me with the Holy Spirit.
3. Wrestle with God in prayer
- Prayer is not always straightforward. Sometimes it seems, like Jacob, that we have to wrestl with God. It can be costly in terms of time and energy. This requires determination.
- It is often through the difficulties, disappointments and struggles that our hearts are changed. We see a transformation in Jacob after he has wrestled with God. His attitude to his brother is totally transformed (Genesis 33).
- Lord, thank your that you are a God who answers our prayers. Help us to wrestl in prayer like Jacob. Lord, I pray that you would bring reconcilation in all our relationships with our brothers and sisters in Christ. May my mouth speak out of the overflow of my heart.
