Proverbs 6:16-19
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Mark 7:21-23
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Proverbs 4:23 instructs us to guard our hearts with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. The thoughts of a man’s heart determine the direction of the man’s life. What a man spends time thinking about will eventually begin to shape his speech and his actions.
The mind is so powerful that the Bible instructs us to bring its contents under captivity to the Lordship of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Also, Philippians 4:8 enjoins believers to think and meditate on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report. Why? It’s because God hates a heart that harbours evil imaginations. This means that if you continually think of evil things, you are automatically an enemy of God.

It is important to be careful about the things you’re exposed to. Constant exposure to filthy content will eventually pollute your thoughts. Guard the gates that lead to your heart -your eyes and your ears. A Christian should not be found watching pornography, movies that do not edify, or listening to dirty jokes. These things find their way into your heart and make you filthy. The works of the flesh will thrive in a heart that is not yielded to Christ.
Under the new covenant, thinking evil is just as bad as doing evil. Some people have no godly thoughts at all. They only scheme in their minds how to pull other people down, how to put people in trouble or lie against them, how to commit fornication, etc. These are things that displease God. If you find yourself in this category of evil thinkers, you need to repent today. Ask the Lord for mercy. Let the blood of Jesus purify your heart and let Jesus be enthroned in your heart. The next thing to do is to meditate on the words of Scripture according to Joshua 1:8. This will ensure that no evil finds its way into your heart again. When you think godly thoughts, your life is shaped according to the will of God. May the Lord be enthroned in your heart, in Jesus’ Name.
