Want to know?

Want to know who someone is called to be, or the direction of their life? Look at who they run with. You run pigs, you might get fried!
1 Corinthians 15:33 says, "Bad company corrupts good character." 

Want to know the heart? Listen to the mouth.
Luke 6:45 says, "Out of the abundance of the mouth, the heart speaks." 

Want to know if those words from that mouth are true? Observe the actions. Matthew 7:16 says, You will know them by their fruit (actions), whether good, or bad.

The meditation of the heart will generates words and ultimately a course of action.

Psalm 19:14 says, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Your sight, Oh Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." We all either are, or have been like David was when he cried out these words to God. He was at a place in his life where he desired a change, of company (friends), words, thoughts, and actions. He was not satisfied with being the same as he'd always been, perhaps making the same mistakes, time after time as we all do. David was a man of battle, so he decided to get viligant with his situation and seek the Almighty, his protector and redeemer, the only one who could help him change.

Are you searching for fulfillment in your life? Are you tired of being the same old you, making the same mistakes, time after time, trying to change all on your own? Then cry out to God and He will help you and empower you with His Spirit to change!
