Heart Maintenance~Part One

Ephesians 4:29 says, ‘Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” In my book, “Victorious Heart” chapter five is entitled “Honey-Laced Words.”

The chapter title is taken from Proverbs 14:24. It says, “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.” I looked up why a honeycomb was connected to bones. Copied from the internet. The inside of bones is structured like a honeycomb. This honeycomb mesh structure gives the bones their strength.

Buried unforgiveness will rot our bones. Here is a verse from a new song called Rejoicing Bones ~ When I thought about my circumstances I became gloomy inside.  My heart was getting heavy and my peace destroyed. Then in Your Word You revealed the secret of health. My bones are affected when my heart is in despair.

Out Of The Dust~Part Two

Psalm 40:2 says, “He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.” There is a hymn. In part it says, “I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore. Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more. But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry, from the waters lifted me, now safe am I.”

The Lord is our Rescuer. I have a friend that was just rescued through amazing God-orchestrated circumstances. His testimony could be as Psalm 116. Verse 8-9 says, “For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.”

I am memorizing Psalm 116. Verse 5 says, “Gracious is the Lord and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.” God’s mercy endures forever. Psalm 136.
