Psalm 15

Psa 15:2 He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;

All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages.

It is quote week at 3yearBible! Some of you might recognize the above quote. It was written by the world’s greatest playwright, William Shakespeare. In many ways the quote is true. How often are we putting on a show, playing a part in this thing called life. When you go to church, work, school, with friends, and with authorities, we often put up a mask. The mask is what we think people want to hear. This is why we will say one thing in front of our friends and another thing in front of our teachers, because we know what they want to hear.

Well, there is one place where we are ourselves no matter what. In our hearts are hidden thoughts that are never said. We keep them carefully hidden away that know one might know the truth about us. Well, the heart is not entirely yours. God hears the heart. Everyone else are dependent upon your words and actions, however God is peering into the real you and the real me.

The verse above states that the man who “speaks the truth in his heart” dwells in the tabernacle of the Lord. If we could gaze into each other’s hearts for one day how many friends would we lose? What would people really think? How fake we would seem! Do not be a fake. Speak the truth, not just the words people want to hear. The Word of God will be offensive at times. Before you can utter these words out loud, you must believe it in your heart. Remember that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Speak truth in your heart, that it might shine in your life.
