The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.  Proverbs 15:28

Let me start with a deep confession.  God has been saying to me, think before you speak my entire life!  It all started in elementary school.  Every report card read, “Linda talks too much in class.”  Honestly, I resented that all my teachers had the same thing to say about me.   Sometimes I get so passionate about what is in my heart that my brain checks out and my mouth runs the show.

Recently at my church during the Code Orange Revival one of the guest preachers said something like your heart could be right, but your mind can be wrong.  Well, since hearing that revelation God has given me too many opportunities to live this out in my life and as a result I’ve developed a recipe for Humble Pie!

Take 1 Large Heart for Christ and sprinkle it with a self-righteous mind and you will have the perfect Humble Pie.

I wish I could put a WARNING label on it and say DO NOT EAT.  But the truth of the matter is all of us are just like Adam and Eve.  The enemy convinces us that we do not have a self-righteous mind and we can “…distinguish good from evil!” Genesis 3:5 When we eat a piece of the Humble Pie it will result in heartache.  But the truth of the matter is we all need a piece of the pie from time to time to make sure our heart and mind are in alignment with God’s truth and will for our life.  In order to grow in Christ we have to fall down so as we are standing back up we reach for God to get our balance.  What will you do when you eat a piece of the pie?
