Bible Verse of The Day – 7-13-17

Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

We can get a hard heart just by listening to and watching people do negative things around us or to us. If we listen enough and we take it to heart, what they say and do can cause us to get angry and upset on the inside.

Even though we aren’t the ones doing and saying them, the things we see and hear can definitely affect our own hearts.

How do we keep ourselves from letting our hearts get hard when we’re exposed to these things over long periods of time?

We have to be careful to let God examine us and help us not to take on what others are doing and saying. We can’t let it reside in us.

When we hear and see such things, it does bother us and it should to some degree. But, instead of letting it give us an attitude, we need to turn it over to God, asking Him to help in that very situation.

Holding onto to the negative things we see and hear all day long, whether in our home, on our job, in our church, out on the streets or wherever else we may go will build a “wall” up in our own hearts.

And if we’re not careful, our talk and our actions can become like theirs.
