Left unchecked, evil thoughts will penetrate the heart.
In many cases, our words are a direct correlation of that which lies within our hearts. While God is the only one who knows the intentions of the heart, it is possible to monitor and adjust our own thoughts and desires.
The Bible reminds us of this… But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? (Matthew 9:4)
In this scripture, Jesus questions the thoughts and intentions of the scribes. This reference indicate that we have the ability to monitor and adjust our thinking and intentions from that which is evil to that which is good.
