Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.”   Proverbs 4:23, NASB “Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.”   Beatitudes: Luke 6:41-45 Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye. 43 For there is no good tree that bears bad fruit, nor, [on the other hand, a bad tree that bears good fruit. 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.

I Don't Like To Act That Way!

Are you in need to change your focus today? Listen in as Jodi shares two penny stories and processes through what Ephesians 1:18-19a conveys. This passage is packed with hope that will empower you to live in the calling God has blessed you with.   “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.” (Ephesians 1:18-19a, NASB) As you ponder this verse further ask yourself some questions: Who can I pray for today? Is there anything in my heart preventing me from spiritual discernment? Is there a sin to confess or a person you need to seek forgiveness from?  Do I truly believe I am empowered through Christ to fight from victory rather than for victory?
