Today’s reading is Matthew 15:1-20
“But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.””
Matthew 15:18-20 ESV

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “For out of the heart come…” How important is our heart? We must guard our heart most of all and we must rely on God to guard it for us. It has been said that we are wired to worship and if we don’t worship God we will worship something else. If God owns our heart than we are in good hands, but if anything else owns our heart more than God, we can be twisted all sorts of ways. Please pray that we and our friends ask ourselves if God owns our heart. Please pray for God’s peace to be in Debbie, Makenna and Kole.
