All these seem to focus on the various sins which God hates: - a proud look , a lying tongue, hands that sheds innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.
In summation we can generalise the fact that all the seven things are entangled and inter-dependent.It depicts the personal traits of an individual and they can be classified as our thoughts, speech, actions and its influence on others, and on our day to day lives. It necessitates a constant and continuous monitoring – mechanism.
Everything in life begins with inner thoughts, it determines our speech and decides our actions. With the ability to choose the right thoughts, speech, and actions, we can focus our mind towards better opportunities in our life, a life for God. “Each of us shall give an account of himself to God.” ( Romans 14:12)
Remember that, you are accountable to God for your thoughts, words and actions. It needs a watchful tendency in life. Have a WATCH, than you can have a control over the evils that comes on your way.
W - Words - be mindful about your Words coming out unmindfully--
A - Actions- actions are simply reaction to your inner most thoughts---
T- Thoughts - thoughts are the facsimile of what is in your mind.
C- Character -all these bundled up makes your personal traits ie
the character
H- Heart- heart is the prime place and a origin for your thoughts, actions and words
Actually, the consequential factor is------your character .
It fixes you in the world as a good person or a bad person.
Bible tells that “The heart is deceitful above all things: and desperately wicked Who can know it?”(Jeremiah "17:9).“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts. murders, adulteries,fornications. thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are things which defile a man……..” (Mathew15:19-20)
Read this carefully:
My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight ,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you.
Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
and be steadfast in all your ways.
Do not turn to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil." (Proverbs 4:20-27)
