Magnificent Life

"Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, why do you entertain evil thoughts in your heart?" Matthew.9:4 A mind at peace with God, unpolluted by negativity, is stronger than any charm or incantation. In our scriptural verse for today, Jesus seemed surprised to see the people harboring and entertaining evil thoughts in their hearts. He marveled at what the people permitted as guests into their hearts. Jesus, on seeing this asked why they chose to, as though demanding an explanation from them. Why allow bitterness and hatred to creep into your heart where the issues of life spring? Your heart is the center of your life. When you guard your heart, you guard the course of your life. Solomon said in Proverbs 4:23, "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life." In other words, above everything else, guard your heart because it determines the course of your life. If you let your mind wander, you will not be focused on what you are doing. This can lead to mistakes and poor decisions. Romans 12
