If you add little to little and do this often, soon the little will become great. HESIOD
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer.
PSALM 19:14 NKJV
Words and meditation, the inner workings of the soul. They kind of work together, have you noticed when you get a idea and think on it for a while, as soon as you run into somebody your mouth and your words will express the idea. Even sometimes when you really dont want to talk about it you do anyway. The meditation of our hearts and the words of our mouth are hooked up together. There is a spiritual thread between the spiritual heart of a person and the way we use words, it doesnt matter if it is our tongue, or a pen, or the keyboard, we are connected from the inside to the outside by this spiritual thread. I am learning to control the words that I use, I must admit I do this better at some times than at other times. Controlling the meditation of my heart is more difficult. Even though the words and meditations are connected, one is like the starting and the other is like the finish product. At some point in manufacturing process of the words I use, I am able to stop and alter and modify how it will come out. But going back to the raw material, the heart, I find it more difficult to change what is there. I am learning it is a matter of what I nourish the heart with that makes it what it is. It is how I hear things, things that I choose to look at, what I read, conversations that I take part in, all of these things add to and will make up the essence of my heart. If I could successfully determine what I put in my heart today, I would choose love, kindness, compassion, understanding, patience, thoughts of good deeds, and gratitude to God for having done for me what I could not do for myself JRE
In the year 1627, there was a wonderful outpouring of the Spirit in several parts of England as well as in Scotland and the north of Ireland. But riches and honor poured in upon them as well, and their hearts began to be estranged from God and started to cleave to this present world. As soon as persecution ceased the Christians who were once poor and despised became invested with power, ease, and affluence. Riches and honor quickly produced the usual effects. Receiving the world, they quickly loved the world. They no longer panted after heaven, and lost all the life and power of religion.
