Value

The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value.

So why was it the tongue body part that was mentioned for the righteous…and the heart body part of the wicked?

I’m thinking because it’s in the heart where “stuff” originates – good or bad.  If Jesus’ blood covers all, then our heart is pure and what comes out of our mouth is “choice” silver – none of that foolish talk we’ve been discussing in other daily devos.  So by the time something rolls off our tongues, we’ve checked it with our heart, and when we speak it does good and not harm.

However, in the heart of the wicked (those who do evil things) there is little value – the place where what we say originates.  They have no choice words, or silver, to share because the value there is missing.  That value is Jesus.

Today, and every day, if we want to pray that which is on God’s heart – it’s to fill the heart of the wicked with value – His son Jesus.
