April 13th -- Proverbs 23

OUR INMOST THOUGHTS
space
space

THE inmost thoughts of the heart have the greatest I effect on character. "As he thinketh in his heart, so is he", or so will he be (Proverbs 23:7). These inmost thoughts are necessarily the most effective, for they are with us all the time and they are always genuine. Even the most loquacious are sometimes silent and the most honest sometimes conceal thoughts by words. But the inmost thoughts of the heart are with us in all our waking hours, and possibly even during sleep, and those inmost thoughts are subject to no prudential restraint except the laws we impose upon them for our own good. The momentary act of self-control may have little or no effect upon character, but the continuous and diligent control of deed, word, and thought may have a great effect and indeed mark the difference between death and life.
