Psalm 119:9 says, “How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.” Joshua 1:8 says that as we read God’s word we are to observe to do it. What blocks our communication with the Lord? Hidden sin.

1 John 1:6 says, “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” 1 John 2:4 says, “He who says, I know Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”

Notice that both of the above verses use the word ‘say’ but the actions display the fallow ground of the heart. Are your words and actions the same? We are called to be diligent stewards over our hearts. When we neglect that call, we bear only weed seeds.

Our goal? 1 John 2:6 says, “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”
