Have you ever squeezed a ripe orange? What comes out of that orange? Of course, because there is an abundance of juice in it, that’s exactly what’s going to come out of it! The easiest way to reveal what our hearts and minds are mostly full of is to see what comes out of our mouths when we’re under pressure.
Whatever you have consistently been putting inside you – by hearing, reading, and meditating on – will be the response that comes out your mouth when you speak. If we spend more time watching the news or reports on social media than the faith-filled truth from God’s Word, we’ll begin speaking more like the world than God! The problem with this is: the opinion of the world produces the destructive spiritual force of fear; where the opinion of God produces the creative spiritual force of faith!
Now, which would you rather have come out your mouth when challenges arise? It’s time to make sure we are spending more time filling ourselves with the truth of God’s Word than the deceptive lies of the world. Fill yourself with faith – your life depends on it.
