The Lord knows what is on our hearts even before it reaches our lips.
"The thoughts of the wicked are shamefully vile and exceedingly offensive to the Lord, but the words of the pure are pleasing words to Him." Proverbs 15:26, Amplified
Even before the words reach the mouth of the wicked, the simple thoughts of the wicked offend the Lord. We serve a God who is spirit. The spiritual and intangible things of this world offend Him just as much as the physical words or acts.
But the words of the pure are pleasing to Him. The Lord loves the words of the pure because they not only think in their heart these things, but they manifest into the physical world for others to partake of. If the wicked were to open their mouths it would be to pollute the world around them. The pure, however, seek to bless those around them. The difference between the two is that one is self serving and the other is people serving.
Are you blessing the Lord today or are you polluting the world around you?
