Store Up Some Good

“A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.” – Matthew 12:35 Store up good in your heart! Matthew 12:34 highlights this: “You brood of vipers.” Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, who could not say anything good because their hearts were full of evil. “How can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him. And an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.” The real question is, what are we storing in our hearts? When you fill your heart with good things, it shows in your actions: you become slower to anger, quicker to forgive, and more willing to bless
