-- Psalm 122:1

The Daily Light

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
  • Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.
  • Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. -- Death and life are in the power of the tongue. --The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart: none of his steps shall slide. -- Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
  • We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. -- I believed, therefore have I spoken.
  • Whosoever ... shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. -- With the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
