Heart of Wisdom

The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart;

The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;

The judgments of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether.

They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

Moreover, by them Your servant is warned [reminded, illuminated, and instructed];

In keeping them there is great reward. (Psalm 19: 8-11) I will keep Your law continually,

Forever and ever [writing Your precepts on my heart].

And I will walk at liberty,

For I seek and deeply long for Your precepts. For I shall delight in Your commandments,

Which I love.

And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,

Which I love;

And I will meditate on Your statutes. (Psalm 119:44-45,47-48)

Oh, how I love Your law!

It is my meditation all the day. (Psalm 119:97)

The law of his God is in his heart;

Not one of his steps will slip. (Psalm 37:31)

Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart, That I may not sin against You. (Psalm 119:11)

The [intrinsically] good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart; and the [intrinsically] evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil [in his heart]; for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart. (Luke 6:45) But whatever [word] comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what defiles and dishonors the man. (Matthew 15:18)

Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]. (Ephesians 4:29)

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life and his words of wisdom are a source of blessing, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence and evil. (Proverbs 10:11)

The heart of the righteous thinks carefully about how to answer [in a wise and appropriate and timely way], but the mouths of wicked people pour out a flood of evil things. (Proverbs 15:28)

But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it. (Deuteronomy 30:14) Listen to Me, you who know righteousness (right standing with God), The people in whose heart is My law and instruction; fear ye not the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults. (Isaiah 51:7)

Never let loving devotion or faithfulness leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. (Proverbs 3:2)

Revealing that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts. (2 Corinthians 3:3)
