The Direction of Your Life

 

 

 

 

“Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks,” Jesus said (Luke 6:45).

 

The images we have in our hearts about ourselves are revealed in our words, and our words form and direct our lives.

 

“The words of your mouth snare you; You are taken by the words of your mouth” (Proverbs. 6:2).

 

People who always speak of their want, who continually talk about their sickness or hardship, are snared by their words. If my words will snare me, I would rather be snared by words of life than those of lack, sickness, and adversity. 

 

You are not limited when you have a vision of God’s abundance. You are not limited when you have a vision of His promise of good health. You are not limited by opposition when you have a vision of God’s favor. You are not limited by the curses of your past when you have a vision of God’s new life.

 

You can change the direction of your life but it has to start in the abundance of your heart.

 

What do you see in your future? What is your vision for your life? For your marriage, family, prospects, and health? If you have a negative image in your heart, you will speak it, and your spoken words will fulfill it.

 

To change the direction of your life, you must change what you see and say. The woman with the issue of blood had a vision of herself healed. She said, “If only I touch His garment, I will be made whole.” That was the image she had in her heart, and she spoke it. Her faith drove her to action. She touched Jesus’ garment just as she had seen in the vision in her heart. And Jesus told her that her faith had healed her.

 

What image drives you? Meditate on these verses if you wish to change your life’s direction. They deserve your response. 

 

…while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18).

 

A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit (Proverbs 18:20-21).

 

This precious child might have seen herself as limited, but she chose not to. Her image of herself will continually drive the direction of her life. 

 

Only you can change the direction of yours.
